A few days ago it occurred to me that I have no logical reason to take summer courses. I am not rushing toward graduating, there are no courses of special interest to me and really no compelling reason to seek out courses to take this summer. So, with the logic of the decision to not […]
Queer Theory: Effect of Social Labels on Behavior and Self-Esteem This topic is a little abstract and doesn’t apply to queer theory as strongly as it probably should, but I feel like I can do a lot with it. Queer theory is focused ‘queering’ everything, from identity labels to the concept of gender itself. Through […]
I am not accustomed to feeling like there is no point for me to be in a classroom, and am even less accustomed to feeling like I cannot talk to the instructor that has created the issue about my concerns. In the class in question there is a general encouragement for graduate students to not […]
Somehow, in my world, plans seem to mean nothing. I planned how I wanted things to work out going from GC Gender Studies to MA Counseling to PhD Counseling, that plan has been derailed at step 2. One might think that this rather abrupt change of plans for me might cause me a fair amount […]
I have a status on my application for the MA Counseling program now. All of the invitations for the group interviews have been sent out, but I did not receive one. This means that I am not admitted to the program. The worst part is it means that I am not even invited to the […]
I began my adventure into graduate-level coursework with a simple plan: take a graduate certificate in cognitive science, complete a Master’s degree in Clinical/Community Psychology, and then get my Ph.D. in Clinical Health Psychology. Every bit of this plan has been skewed. Initially I was rejected by the cognitive science program because I did not […]
I am beginning my second semester of graduate school. I begin this semester working toward a graduate certificate in Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies as well as a graduate certificate in Cognitive Science. I have submitted applications to the departments of sociology and counseling to apply for their master’s level programs. I have the following […]
I have applied for the Master of Arts in Counseling (Community) program and will be applying to the Master of Arts in Sociology program as well. I have reasons for really wanting in to both programs (or either program), but feel a little uncertain about my admissibility for a masters-level program, but do find a […]
The department of Institutional Research at UNC Charlotte has posted the fact sheets for the Fall 2011 semester. Below is an except from this report, showing the department of Women’s Studies, which operates the Graduate Certificate in Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies program. The one single “M” in the program is me. Does this make […]
I have no clue how Google selects what articles are included in Google Scholar, all I know is I currently have a paper listed and it makes me a lot happy. I’m quite surprised that it is in the index so quickly. Nice way to end my first graduate semester. Posted from Charlotte, North Carolina, […]
