Hi yall. I hope you're settling into your spring semesters well. I know that my students still don't seem to know what's going on! Hopefully next week, they'll have adjusted, since that'll be their first "normal" week.
But I don't want to talk about them, I want to talk about ME--in a permanent state of crisis! I'm starting to worry about what will happen AFTER my MFA, and I wrote about it over at rachelmarsom.com.

before I click over there...I, too, have been obsessing over what to do post-mfa! Luckily, classes started today so I can get my mind back where it belongs...on my writing! Okay, let me go see if you're as crazy as I've been lol
ReplyDeletei think the only good thing about having done a low-res is i was employed when i started my MFA but man my world was shaken up so 1 year post-MFA i'm still figuring it out :) but in a good way!
ReplyDeleteI am right now about 50/50 on whether I will apply to PhD programs in lit or whether I will take my lovely terminal degree and run ;) Ha ha! Actually, if I don't do the PhD, my plan is to stick around Penn State and teach for 3-4 years and gain as much diverse teaching experience as possible (it's something a lot of MFAs do and the university offers them fixed term positions - supposed to be only 3 years, but if I am still in the relationship with the person I started dating this fall, I would try to get a 4th year since that would be his last year here as well).
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I am sure of is that I want to teach.
