End Somewhere Toward the Good Life

In coming up with my plan for the future, I read. A lot. I did tons of research on getting myself moving toward a more positive direction. I’m normally not a self help book type of girl, but I read a few this last months. Some were downright depressing, while others had practical tips and encouragement that were well worth the trip to the library.

I made lists. Good/Bad, Pro/Con, career lists, etc. I wrote scenarios of my perfect life. I wrote scenarios of the shittiest life I could imagine. I even made a collage (now working toward a shadow box) in order to keep myself motivated and moving in the right direction.

In all this research and soul searching, I came to the conclusion that I sort of pondered a few months ago: It’s time to go back to school. Ever since I started thinking about school, I’ve been really resistant to the whole idea. I just can’t imagine getting back into an educational environment. And while I know I am not the oldest person in the world to return to school, I feel like I might be chasing a pipe dream. At the same time, I am excited beyond belief to finally be doing something for myself.

So I registered for classes yesterday. There’s no turning back now.
