Reading and Writing in the Lakota Language is an book that details the basics of the Lakota language. I got the book while I was on my mission trip to the Rosebud Reservation. Specifically, I purchased the book at Sinte Gleska University. I did not want to leave the reservation empty handed besides the pictures I took but I also wanted to continue to learn about the Lakota nation after I left. Many more questions were left to me to learn and to find out particularly about the language. I was fascinated by the language so I picked up the book and a coffee mug (that was about all I could afford). I have not gone deep into the book as of yet but I look forward to thoroughly reviewing the book before I head back in the fall.
Petersons- Graduate Programs in the Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences. This is my area. The book is huge but I brought it back from the library anyway. I wanted to do an in-depth look at potential grad schools all over the country just like I did for my undergraduate education. Currently, I am looking into graduate programs in either Geography, Geographic Information Systems, or Urban/City/Community/Regional Planning. I do not know which program yet but I want to stay close to my parents (so I am thinking either Mid-West or the East coast). The graduate school process is long but like the undergraduate process, I know this is worth it. I am looking into getting recommendations from my professors and from my work experience at the City of Delaware. I am looking forward to seeing what will happen in the fall.
The GRE's. Wow, the time in college is almost over and I am starting to contemplate whether I want to go into grad school immediately or to wait for a year or two to get that extra experience. I want to go to grad school now while the information in my classes is still fresh but I am most likely going to be broke when I enter. Best case scenario: I land a job near a grad school and do the two together. It may be difficult but life is not meant to be a cakewalk. The GREs are SATs for college students and all of the tactics I am memorizing now are invigorating to me to prepare well in advance. I have figured out some approximate dates to take the GRE in Cleveland at Case. I believe that this is my best bet since I will have limited once I arrive back on campus. If I take the GRE at Case before school in August, I think I will be more focused on the exam. My worry will only be on the exam and not all of the other senior obligations. I am heavily involving myself into the 3,500 potential GRE words that could be used. My exercise- to take 10 words and to put them in a sentence and an additional 15 words and to use those as synonyms and/or synonyms. I already feel my brain expanding with the usage of words into my vocabulary. The math section is more daunting so I am procrastinating a bit but I will have to start looking into this soon. I will probably comment more on the GRE book once I start making more progress.
Comprehensive Plan 2003-2008 of the City of Delaware- I was introduced to this during my interview at the Department of Planning and Community Development for the City of Delaware, OH. There is a lot of interesting information and I know that it will take a long time to process of the information. I am glad to have this resource on me now. I also have ArcGIS which I hope to use a lot in the fall. I did many case scenarios in class so I hope class lessons come in handy. I am happy that I am in this position going back in the fall.
Structure and timing is everything. I know that this is pivotal for my success in my future. I am happy and I know that I can conquer anything at this point of my academic career. Difficult decisions have to be made and transitions will begin starting now. Let's see where I will be taken. Stay tuned.
Planning my future and hoping you are as well,
