Exams, and more exams.

I should have given my blog title more thought. I don't know why I titled my blog "embracing unemployment" because less than two weeks after my first post I was offered a job. My job isn't that exciting and it's not remotely related to my field of study, but I'm gaining skills and getting paid to work. I should have titled my blog "finding myself" because that is what I am really trying to do. I want to start writing in here more to better my writing skills and improve my spelling (which has deteriorated due to texting and not reading enough. I spelled deteriorated incorrectly the first time, how pathetic.)

I'm currently studying for my GRE but the uncertainty of my future goals causes me to question whether I should apply for admission in Fall 2010 or Spring 2011. Right now, I want to pursue a Master's in Public Administration but that might change a month from now. Though changing policy in the US sounds great and I realize it is much needed work, I was always much more fascinated with the international community. About a month ago, I registered to take the Foreign Service Examination; the exam is at the end of February so I should begin studying. I seriously believe my International Studies major will come in handy there.

Anyway, I don't know. I will take both the GRE and the FSO Exams. The Graduate school application and admission process takes about 6 months to a year, as does the FSO Selection Process. I am certainly keeping my options open.

Oh and as I said in my first post, I did begin taking cake decorating courses at Michaels and my cakes are actually pretty. I'll post a picture soon.

**EDIT**
I was able to change the title of my blog :) Yay
