Back to School

So, it begins again... another school year, another degree. I sure am anxious. I am slightly nervous and totally excited. Counseling... should open up a lot of doors for me mentally, emotionally. They say that you have to reflect on yourself many times throughout this program. I know it will be difficult, but it'll be good for me. For my relationships with others.

Sometimes I worry I'll start to think so differently during and after this next degree that I won't be me anymore. I know I will change and grow. I just hope it's for the best. It is what you make of it, right?

I believe I am a chronic student, a lifer. I already graduated from high school, with my BA in Psychology, and my MA in Human Sexuality Studies. I've only been out of school for 2 years but I am drawn to go back. I have it stuck in my head that with education becomes opportunities. But, in theory, I am already educated. So, why go back? Because NO ONE knows what to do with a degree in Human Sexuality. It doesn't help me get a better job. Nope, here I am, working as a glorified secretary. I am too over qualified for this. I know this. Why am I afraid to move on? I could be doing so much more.

I guess going back to school makes me happy. I love learning. I get so bored if I am not learning. Hopefully after this next degree I will be able to keep learning and have a career, not just a job to pay the bills. I sure am happy to be going back to school. I really hope being in school full time and working full time will be doable. If not, school comes first. Always.
