Doing well :-)

I've felt the need to run away all week.  Work has been beyond stressful.  I could honestly stay for 24 straight hours and not be caught up.  I do the job of 4 people at our other offices.  But I still love it.  I am so blessed to work for the most patient, caring boss of all times.  I love that his wife is one of my best friends.

This has been the best weekend of my life, or at least in the top 5. :-)

Education for the Post-Graduate

I have, and probably always will, love school!! There's something about discovering a subject or detail that makes you say, "Wow!" I will always remember a 3rd grade G/T assignment over Egyptian culture. Ever since, I've been obsessed with mummies. I actually cried in a museum the first time I saw a real one. Such joy fills my heart...and all thanks to a teacher who was just doing her job.

Going to college was an adventure. Sure, I had those classes that were uninteresting and worthless, but I also experienced incredible growth and expansion of my strengths, interests, and loves.

Being out of college has been hard. I went to flight attendant training last summer and had the opportunity to learn a crazy fun skill, but the last 11 months have been a little empty. I have always wanted to be a life-long learner, but I still am not sure in what I want to get my master's degree. I don't want to waste time (or money) taking classes in a subject area I'm not convinced I'll love. So, I continue to wait...

Thankfully, the avenue I've so been looking for literally dropped itself into my mailbox this week. A community college in my town offers dozens of continuing education classes for a wonderful price. I can pick and choose classes that simply interest me and not worry about grades, failure, homework, or an outrageous class. Want to know what I just signed up for? "Basics of Writing a Novel" and "Ceramics I" :) I love writing (obviously), and I love art.

I'm so excited!
