GRE's

I'm happy announce that I've finished my GREs and got a 500 Verbal and 590 Quantitative. It's a little above average for my major, and ought to be enough to get me into the University of Minnesota. Kelly bought me flowers today to celebrate passing my test. He's such a wonderful husband.

He still loves working with Big Horn, and we're both doing really well.

Happy Halloween!!

ARGG!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so stressed out!! My GRE exam is tomorrow, and I've been studying my butt off, to the detriment of my other classes. I bombed a genetics exam Friday and have a weeds exam Wednesday that I haven't even started studying for. Kelly and our families are the only things keeping me sane! URG!

Minnesota Update

It looks like I might have the position. I'm taking my GRE's on the 30th and can put in my application then. If I'm accepted, I've got the job, I think. I won't be able to start classes until summer or fall semester, but I'm going to try to start working before that so I can avoid as much as I can of the November - March slump. I'll let you know whether or not I have the position for sure and when we'll be leaving. Thank you all for all your advice!

Potential Job Offer

Okay, this is really important to us and we need some help. I've pretty much made my decision, but I want to make sure I'm not doing the wrong thing.
As you all know I'm graduating with my Bachelor's in December. I really just wanted to be done with school and start on a career, but then my turf professor brought this to my attention. The University of Minnesota is trying to fill two research assistantship positions in January 2008. They will pay a yearly salary of $20,120, with full insurance and tuition covered. Basically, I can get my M.S. for free, if I'm accepted. The research will be breeding rust-resistant perennial ryegrass cultivars. Perennial rye is my favorite turf species, but I don't have any experience in breeding and I suck at complicated Genetics, as evidenced by my last exam score. Kelly thinks I have a good shot at the position and that I'll pick up the genetics stuff better when it's hands on and applicable to what I'm doing. There's also a good pre-law program for him at the University and then a few good law schools in nearby Minnesota for him to go to after he graduates.
The problem is that I didn't really want to go to anymore school and Minnesota is a very long way away from both of our families. It's a very, very good opportunity for me though. As I said, I've pretty much made my decision, but I want to know what you all think too. I'm putting up a poll for everyone, please use it, and leave me comments if you like too, just remember to tell me who you are if you sign in as anonymous. Thank you all!
