school

I have a lot of thoughts about school, and me + school.  The first go-around ended in me dropping out of architecture school with 3 semesters to go.  I was frustrated, overworked, and not at all happy.  I left school, and spent the next 5 years trying different things, trying to figure out what I wanted to do with myself.  I felt (feel) really good about this decision, too.  I like the things I did, everything I've learnt, and I feel strongly that there are many paths one can take that a university education isn't mandatory or necessarily useful.  I learnt so much just by trial and error, ready books, watching people more skilled than me, asking questions, and just being curious.

The place I've come to, though, is that I want to make more of an impact in the world, and I'm not sure how to do this.  I was an overachieving child, and now I have all these years of pent up energy just waiting for an outlet.  I want to work hard!

So I'm starting business school in January (that was a logical jump, right?!).  I'm going to study...I'm not sure.  Management?  Accountancy?  Something that will let me help the small businesses I love, hopefully.  I'm totally nervous, because the last time I wrote an exam was a lifetime ago.

I'm going to be in school until next summer, working my butt off to finish.  Hopefully I'll have time to sew and knit, but I'm still working three days a week and trying to eat healthily and have time with Seb and get drunk sometimes.

In the mean time, I have many plans of all the things I'm going to do with my last two months of freedom and hopefully I can start sharing them soon!

p.s. Sorry for the photo, but it makes me laugh to be cheesy
