Sometimes I look at my little sheet of classes I have to take to get my BSW (Bachelors of Social Work). Its such a long list...and I haven't even finished my generals yet, and then figure in Grad School. That's approximately 4-5 more years of school. Why didn't I take advantage of AP classes and concurrent enrollment?
Don't get me wrong...I really like being in school. You get money from the government to study something you like and then you don't have to be a custodian the rest of your life. Trust me, you don't ever want to be a custodian if you can help it, much less the rest of your life. Also, compared to having a house and some kids, this time of life is pretty chill.
On the other hand, I would like to get up at a reasonable hour and go to my job that I love- or spend the day with the kids that I love (don't mistake this for baby hungry, cause I'm not). I would love to live closer to family and friends.
However, I remember wishing away childhood, then high school, then single life, and now this? I think its time I learn to live in and enjoy the moment- the stage of life I am in now, because- lets be honest- its pretty good.
-I have a wonderful husband.
-We live in a nice apartment, with fun things like a Wii, popcorn machine, and a comfy bed.
-We have enough money to go to school, have a car, have the nice apartment, eat, and have fun.
-We finally have jobs which is great considering how many people in this town are jobless and have been longer than we were.
-We get to visit family fairly often.
Well, I don't know about you, but I feel a lot better. Maybe I just had a case of the Monday Blues.
