I'm two days away from finishing my winter essay class. My other goals for this winter break are to fill out applications for the grad schools I'm interested in and prepare to go to Uzbekistan. Tonight as I started researching grad schools again, comparing prices and programs I got the feeling for the first time in quite a while that maybe I'm not ready yet to commit to grad school. "Why?" you ask. Because I've been wondering silently within myself for sometime if English teaching is enough for me. Maybe I'm not sure enough about what I want to study to spend 30 thousand dollars or more. I would like to combine a MA in Teaching with an International Studies or International Policy masters degree but I haven't been able to find a program like that. People have also told me from time to time that when it comes to English teaching having experience and an MA in something are all you need (not necessarily a MA in Teaching). However, if I want to get a masters in International Policy a lot of the programs require you to be quite advanced in a language even before you apply which is ok but would take a lot of time on my part. (And plus I think I stink at learning languages but that could be tolerated.) The question is: is that what the Lord wants-I'll take that time if that's what he wants. Which leads me to if I'm not totally sure about which degree I should get then maybe I should just wait. *sigh* Lord, what do you want?

Anyway, meanwhile I'm going to research, apply and pray...
