So I know I haven't posted in a while. Between juggling the girls' tutors, their grades, making sure their service hours get done, AND doing rides/checking chores/other things that aren't technically my job on top of that, it's been pretty crazy around here.
But things just got real, way realer than the minutia of the everyday.
I got an e-mail from my boss telling me I can opt to be an official AmeriCorps member now! I would LOVE to do that. But I have to make a choice--stay till this August and recieve less money towards my education award, or stay till December and recieve more money. This means I have to start making some major life decisions, which I'd already started thinking about in the past week anyway. Decisions like...
1. Is this job rewarding enough to stay on for an extra 5 months? That's 5 extra months to work on my relationships with the girls, and with my bosses (reccomendations, anyone?). Will I be able to stand it, or will I be ready to get the H-E-double hockey sticks outta here by August?
2. Do I want to start a master's program this August (almost don't even want to open that can of worms)? Can I start a master's program in January? Or would I have to wait until August 2013? Is that too long to wait?
3. Will I need the money enough to warrant staying on longer? Grad school is flipping expensive, and though I know my family would help me, extra money never hurts.
In conclusion, help.
