GED

I really wish that while I was getting my bachelors degree I was planning for the future. It now dawns on me that I need to take the GRE so that I can go back to school in the fall, and it would be simply awesome if I had already taken it. I haven't taken a test in over a year and I feel like it is going to be difficult for me to do. Though on the bright side I usually own on standardized tests so perhaps I will do very good. All I need to do is good enough to go get my masters, so score isn't that important. I have a quandary though on whether to start right now going towards a Ph.D. or just get a master's in Biology first and then go get a Ph.D. in Micro or Epidemiology later in life when perhaps I will have my debts paid off and can live on a stipend. I think that is probably the best idea because my current job is pretty sweet and pays for one class a semester as long as I work here. I have been reading a lot like always and just finished reading The Financial Lives of Poets it was an excellent book about someone experiencing the recession much the way people in my family area and having the idea that perhaps he should sell Marijuana in order to keep his house. It was very funny, and a really quick read (about 2-3 hours or so) I just started reading Wolf Hall which is a story about Thomas Cromwell, and I hope it proves to be wonderful.
