End of Spring

It is approaching the end of the Spring Semester and I have realized that this time next year I will be graduating with my degree in Political Science. This means that it is also time for me to begin to prep for the Masters Program that I plan to start in fall of 2012. This means that I'll be taking the GRE on July 14th and hope to do well especially since I'll be taking the Kaplan prep course. Also I need to pick out a piece of my best writing along with 3 letters of recomendations from my professors to go along with the application. Well it looks like the net year is going to be a big whirlwind but next summer will be nice as atleast that one I'll have off before I start the masters program.

Almost Done

Well it is now my second spring break at the U of U and I'll only be having one more as a undergrad. I have checked out the requierments for graduation and will be able to meet those by spring of 2012 and so I'll graduate then and then hopefully be able to start up Graduate school fall of 2012. As far as this semester goes I almost got a perfect on my midterm for my political science statistics class (anyone with problems with stats should take this as there is not math). Not sure yet how I did on the midterm for my Economics of International Relations class but hopefully I will after spring break. I'll be doing 2 classes again this summer and that is really what is going to be helping me. Along with that I'll be taking the Kaplan GRE prep course and will try and take the GRE in August. I need to do well on the GRE to be able to get into the Master's program and really do hope that I am able to. Not much else is going on other then the fact that I'm almost not a Army Grunt anymore as I will be done with my 8 year commitment on June 12th.

Start of Winter

I have started the dread Statistics course and do not have much fear of it. For me it mostly mkaes sense and I belive that it will be rather easy for me and right now I hope that I'm right. I'm also in my second class on International Relations and this is the second class that I'm taking from Professor Judkins. I really like his lecturing style and amd looking forward to what I'll learn in this class. At the same time I know that there is going to be a lot of reading to do for both of these classes and the hardest thing is going to be those days where I work both before and after class. Ah well atleast I knew what I was getting in for and my loving wife is doing what she can to help me out.
