First discovery: if all class timing works out correctly, I should indeed be able to graduate one semester early, meaning in December of 2012, meaning I MIGHT BE MORE THAN HALFWAY DONE WITH MY DEGREE.
Second discovery: Grad school is going to be very expensive. I looked at quite a few Christian programs that will work for me, least expensive being about 27,000 dollars. That is no small sum. Some universities allow monthly payments - whether that will work for me or not, I do not know. But something I do know (well, I'm pretty sure I know): I will not be able to earn 30,000 dollars between now and the end of my 2 year (hopefully) grad program, even with the scheduled off-year. I've been raised with an avoid-debt-as-much-as-possible mindset, and I've been so blessed to get to this point without having to come into any. We shall see!
Something else I discovered is that there are actually far less Christian universities that offer mental health grad programs than I thought! Some I've been considering:
-Colorado Christian University (for obvious reasons)
-Seattle Pacific University
-Grace University (this one's in Omaha, and is quite possibly the front runner. Good thing I have a year or so before I have to start really deciding!)
Ultimately, I find this whole process very exciting and fun :) Woohoo!
