Going to the college, meeting with financial aid, praying to God I get some aid, meeting with my advisor, registering for classes, figuring out which books I need...that was the easy part! Now...paying for it, ordering the books from the cheapest source (how the heck do I get my isdn #?!), getting myself ready to re-enter the college world, wrapping my mind around having no free time now that I'll be working full time and being a full time student....paying for it....did I mention paying for it?! Stress!
I'm excited and I want to get started right now and then 2 seconds later I'm terrified to fail, not be smart enough, etc. One minute I'm grinning like a tomcat and saying I can do this! I'm gonna rock it...and then wham! I'm wondering what the hell I was thinking getting myself into this!
Associate of Arts in Elementary and Secondary Education...that's my dream. I want to teach. I want to teach. I want to teach! I've always wanted to teach. But, is it smarter to get a degree in business management or something you can use broad range?! Do I go for my dream or go for the safe route? It's on my mind about 22 3/4 hours of the day. I think I'm going to go for my dream. What have I got to lose? I've already got a good job with good benefits. If there aren't any teaching jobs I'm still okay...and if there are I'm living the dream, right?!
How do you prepare your mind and body for the stress that's about to hit? Whiskey? Vodka? CHOCOLATE?! Yep, chocolate it is.
