I Have Been Thinking A Lot…

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

…About going back to school.

Is this really the time? I think it is. I have been putting it off for so long. So much is going on in the world. The market is in a downward spiral, things are getting more competitive… I don’t want to be caught out there when things pick up.

I feel there is going to be a renaissance of sorts when the economy bounces back… or at least I hope for a period of deeper appreciation for what we have and the opportunities before us. I just feel I should get a jump on it either way.

More immediately, this would be me turning a negative into a positive. While my credit is shot and I am paying it back, it’s difficult for me to get an apartment. I can put whatever extra funds I can muster towards getting a degree. I can move when my personal economic conditions are more acceptable.

Benefits: What exactly are the benefits? Well as far as I can tell, a sense of accomplishment, a degree would make me more marketable and my son will see me doing even more positive things. I am trying to teach him to keep reaching.

As of now, I am still unsure what I want to go back for. I don’t even know what school or schools I want to attend. I am going to walk into an admissions office soon. Has to be long before the holiday. I want to get the ball rolling for Winter / Spring term.

I am praying for guidance. Pray for me, please. Wish me luck!

We started the day with breakfast at IHOP, then walked from Downtown Brooklyn through Borough Hall and Cadman Plaza Park to the bridges walkway. We talked the whole walk about various things, including poking fun at some people and school.
