Stressed!

I'm graduating in August, my major is criminal justice and my minor is sociology.
I don't want to do anything after college dealing with cj, my plan has shifted away from it completely. I want to help kids, which is something I've always planned on doing, but it's shifted from law enforcement to something along the lines of being a sociologist/psycologist fml. Ideally, I want to be a suicidologist. 


I'm thinking about getting another BA in psych, then getting a masters (which I was planning on doing anyway) in sociology, now with an emphasize on suicide. 


That just seems like so much schooling (=$$$). And the most ideal place for me to go to graduate school for that would be here because I wouldn't have to take the GRE and it only takes 3 semesters. BUT it's so late for me to be deciding this, it's too late for me to even get in for the fall, so the earliest would be next Spring. Jonathan and I have already made solid plans about moving back to his hometown in the fall and we've been SO excited about the fact that we finally get away from this godawful city.

I looked into the graduate program for the university where we'd be and they have it, but it's more expensive, takes longer, and I'd have to take the GRE. That's in general too, and I've always planned on getting my masters but with ANYTHING here at my current school would be most ideal.

The thought of all this is just so overwhelming and stressful. I don't know what to do. I suppose the first step is talking with my academic advisor and get his advice. But then what? Move back home for a few months then drag myself and my boyfriend back up to this city that neither of us don't want to be in? I don't even know how getting a BA in psych would work, the way they do the Arts and Sciences requirements. Would I have to get ANOTHER minor?

I need to figure out how to insert .gifs onto this blog so I can accurately express how I feel.
