I know what I'm doing next year...

I GOT INTO GRAD SCHOOL YAY! So my tentative plans as of now are to attend the Master of Science in Human Resources and Industrial Relations (MSIR) program at WVU, potentially starting this summer. The link to the program is below, but I wanted to let you know a little bit about the program!


The MSIR program at WVU is one of the earliest HR programs established in the United States and is among only 35 human resources/industrial relations full-time day programs in the country. Some of the courses I will be taking include:
  • Collective Bargaining and Industrial Relations
  • Employment Law
  • Arbitration
  • Staffing and Selection
  • Compensation
  • Performance Management
  • Organizational Change and Renewal
  • HR Information Systems
  • Strategic Management
I am so excited!!!!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I finally have something to do next year! Plus I will graduate in Summer of 2012, which fits perfectly into Tommy and myself's wedding timeline!

He will graduate in Spring of '12 (hopefully with a job), I will look for jobs in the area he has a job and graduate in Summer of '12, and then we'll  be married in October of 2012!!!!!!!

And then we can move in together, get a puppy, and start the first of many years of domestic bliss!!!!!!!! As of right now, I have only three fool proof dinner recipes up my sleeve (homemade french onion soup, chicken enchiladas, and chicken bruschetta), but I can bake from scratch like no one's business, and Tommy is amazing at making eggs and pancakes! YAY!
I CAN'T GET OVER HOW EXCITED I AM FOR THE FUTURE!

And I almost forgot, my dad finally looked at our dream wedding venue, and he likes it!!!!!!!!!!!! It would be at the Bay Creek Resort in Cape Charles! The picture on the top is where our cocktail hour would be (right behind the photographer is the water).
