My favorite Toni Braxton song, and the length of my Spring Break before returning to the hustle and bustle of the South Loop to educate myself. A part of me is ready for the whole song and dance of classes, papers, and 3 AM stressing out about said papers. The other part wants to keep loafing around bed, home, and running errands with the father person. But alas, we have a job to do--the quest for the BA is getting closer and closer. After three grueling quarters, my status is official--Junior. I'm getting closer to wiping away my odious experience with a certain online school off my record.
I thought about that, because I've been thinking about finishing another Associate's at the community college I started at. It sounded "fruitless" to one person I expressed the idea to, but it was more of a "I made an expensive mistake and I want to fix it" kind of thing. A lot of companies are told to "shred" resumes with that school on them. OUCH. That made me feel horrible.
In the moment of the "fruitless" comment, I didn't know what to say. I didn't think the effort was fruitless. I just thought it was something I needed and WANTED to do, to satisfy my own person. Maybe it doesn't make sense to that person, because they've already graduated, they have their own career on track, and they're not er....how can I put this delicately.....Brokey McPoverty with a side of Destitute fries and a Debt shake.
This is really for me--the person who stopped stressing out about trying to "be" where everyone else around me already is, will be, or has been. The stress and embarrassment made my collegiate life take a HUGE nosedive. I didn't have to do that! I look back at it now like...."Williams, why did you do that to yourself?!"
Anyway, I'm probably the only person who is split between "ready to go back and learn some new stuff", and "let's stay in our jammies all day, play apps, eat a sammich, and do yoga over Skype!" But I like going to school (most of the time, lol.) and meeting new people. I like flexing my brain muscles and pulling 4.0s and 3.8s and 3.5s. I love the feeling of my advisor telling me "you're getting closer! You're doing great!" I LOVE THAT I'M DONE WITH MATH. HAHAHAHA!!!
Not that I update much on here (which is so so bad, I know. MAMA NEEDS THE HITS!), but school is above all things. Who knows, I might have more time, now that I don't have to do the Math thing on Tuesdays anymore. Now, off to celebrate my last day of freedom! (Even though I go to school on Tues. and Thurs., anyway.)
