School's Out Forever, Almost

    This past weekend, I finally got the results of my exit exam for graduate school.  Actually, I got the email last Monday, but I was so busy early last week that I kept forgetting to check.  When I did get the time to remember to check, I had problems connecting to my account.  So, that is why I didn't find out my results until Saturday.  Well, I passed.  I immediately posted the news on my Facebook page, although I now realize I maybe should have posted it elsewhere as well.  Like here, one my usual post day.  To be honest, I was seriously thinking about dropping out of grad school is I hadn't passed.  The odds of me being able to take the test a second time on my terms.  Now, I only have to take and pass two more classes to get my degree.  I have mentioned in previous posts about what my options are.  I have decided to not take the class being offered in the intersession.  I just don't think I would have the time to get everything done with all of the holiday planning going on, as well as other possible changes.  Therefore, I will probably take the two classes being offered in the spring.  One covers the works of Thomas Hardy, five novels and a selection of poetry.  Not my first choice, but I believe I can handle it.  The other class is something vague about something to do with American literature.  The course description doesn't go into much detail, and there are no books listed for the class.  At least not the times I have checked.  I really wanted to know more about the class before I enroll.  Yes, I was supposed to sign up for these classes a few weeks ago, but I wanted to know the results of my exam first.  There is still space available for both, but I still have those doubts about that second class.  I don't want to risk taking a summer class, only to not have an option that could work.  As to what I will do after getting my MA in English?  I have no idea.  I don't want to go into teaching one the grade or high school level.  I don't do well working with children.  I wanted the option of working on the collegiate level, but my degree wouldn't be enough.  I had wanted to get an MFA in creative writing, which would have given me the option for doing just that.  With just an MA, I would first have to get into a doctorate program.  At my age, that just isn't an optimum option.  Maybe if I hadn't taken those two years off trying to get into a creative writing program would have changed things.  I don't know what will happen next, and I really need to talk to someone to help me out.  So, does anyone have any suggestions for me?
