Dilema

It’s not exactly a big deal, but I have found myself brooding over some more choices. The first choice, whether or not to go to graduate school, seems pretty straightforward. I have to answer yes to it; worst case scenario: I hate it and quit, but I at least gave it a go and won’t have all those “what if” doubts swirling in my head. I have already picked a school that I’m very likely to be accepted to. Simple.

The second choice is tougher. I have found myself forced to decide between an MA in English Publication with a concentration in writing and editing, and a MFA in Creative Writing. I certainly have time to decide, as I won’t finish my BA until September, but I’ve always been one to look ahead. Carpe Next Year.

Right now, I’ve been leaning towards the Creative Writing degree. I’m guessing it would look less impressive on a professional resume, but the title Master of Fine Arts does have a sweet ring to it. Not to mention, there’s that “he’s an artist” excuse every time I mess up something mere mortals can do with their eyes closed. My brain will be churning on this one for a while, but anticipation is the best part of almost everything, is it not?
