I would just like to congratulate the governor of New York for ensuring marriage be extended all LGBT citizens of my home state. It is a huge accomplishment for the LGBT community, the state of New York, and the United States in general. It seems like the repeal of Clinton's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy was the turning point.
In other news, I have finally taken the first steps of pursuing Graduate School. I took the GRE (Graduate Record Examination - this is an entry requirment for most graduate schools) last weekend, got my scores instantly, and immediately determined that I must retake it to obtain a better score. I think the main thing is that I over-studied and constantly worried about the exam. On a positive note, I wrote two exceptional essays and I know they will help my scores...even though no Graduate School really considers them. I have decided that I will go to Graduate School for either English education or a field of Political Science that deals with International Issues and/or Foreign Policy/Diplomacy. I would ideally like to go to Georgetown, but I would settle for anywhere with a great program. I also have a hidden passion for teaching English abroad. I do see myself in China or Asian county...or the Middle East. There is a certain element of suspense there and I would love to challenge myself to meet such suspenseful obligations.
These days Graduate School is a requirement in order to advance in any given career. In my current job, it is not what I went to school for. I don't see myself being a "Sales Associate" for the rest of my life; although, in a sense, politics is all about selling a candidate or policy to the general public. I'm told that I am a natural when it comes to interacting with people because I have a certain charm. I really disagree with that but that by itself would imply that I am humble. (I've been told I am that as well.) Maybe one day I will be fully involved in a certain level politics - other than the entry level stuff. When that does happen, I will have been truly reached my victory - only then will I be ready to conquer a new challenge. In the meantime, I will continue to enjoy life at a ripe age of twenty-four years.
