First week of year 2 #MFA #CreativeWriting program at 44 years old.
How'd it go?
This is my second Masters degree and it feels like such a better fit.
During my "first go" at grad school, I was 24 years old and no longer sure that I had made the right choice. I started with a clear idea of my research focus but then became lost and jaded for several reasons. The material was difficult and dense, the other students were older and seemed more knowledgeable, and I was exhausted constantly. As a result, my goal became to finish my degree as quickly as possible and I did, thankfully, complete my Masters in Education with a focus on Equity (MEd) in 2005.
The goal now is to graduate with my MFA in Creative Writing in summer 2022.
Here goes!
