Grad School Application -- yes, I missed a whole month of blogging

Well, I'm graduating from the University of Oklahoma with an MA in philosophy this Friday. However, that was not my goal in coming to OU, my goal was to graduate with a PhD. So, when I move from Oklahoma I hope to have a PhD or be well on my way to completing a PhD in philosophy. If I don't get a PhD, then I have failed in achieving my goal in coming to Oklahoma. However, now I am starting to believe that if I don't get into the PhD program it will be because of simple dumb luck more than anything else. It just seems that one mishap after another has been my experience at OU. I really don't know what to think about this whole experience. All I know is that if I don't get in, it is not my fault -- at least 100% my fault. I'll take maybe 25% of the blame. Obviously, I could have prevented much of this myself, yet, everytime that there has been a bounce of the ball, the ball has not bounced my way.

At the end of the day, God's soverignty is all that we can rely upon.
