So, going back to my idea from my last post...
First off, I can't update about the rest of my trip because the computer that has all my photos in it is in the shop, being fixed so that we can access our tax information...so my last week and a half of Ireland will have to wait a touch.
Anyways, when it comes to grad schools, things really look sucky right now, because one of my professors forgot to send my recommendation letter off. Now, I think I gave sufficient notice, especially when she had already written a letter for me and only needed to change the name of the school and the program. On top of that, when I took in suck-up food, she assured me that everything was taken care of, and my last letters would be in the mail the day I left for Ireland.
I get back, and I get emails from my grad schools saying that I actually don't have my application complete because one professor did not send the letters.
So I emailed her and she said she got so busy that she forgot to do it. Now I'm adequately screwed.
So my options for the next year looking increasingly limited. IF I get into a graduate school, then I won't get any financial assistance, and I would go big bucks into debt. I can get an MBA at UCCS in one year in either homeland defense or information technology, and both of htose fields are guaranteed jobs. The catch? It would mean me going into about $10,000 in debt. I don't know that I want to take on a lot of debt, but I don't see much in the way of choice.
Life is such a pain right now...

I'm praying for you. I am so proud of you for taking time for yourself and going to Ireland. You've worked so hard, and I know everything will work out. You're too smart and too awesome not to become someone great.
P.S. I miss you already. We need to get ourselves to Meade St. Station again, and enjoy a Guinness with some sweet potato fries while we catch up on life.
I'm sure it will be fine...it was the professor's fault after all, not yours. good luck!
