Well, i've spent quite a bit of time thinking about this grad school thing, and troubling myself over it. i've read closely, every course description for the instruction program. and i'm starting to doubt less that i should go back to teaching. i'm having to forcibly restrain myself from digging out all my old school stuff, all my teaching notebooks, my lesson plans, my classroom supplies, my bulletin board mock-ups and going through it all to see what i have that might be useful in school.
now i'm starting to get scared that it isn't going to work out, that i'm going to get an email from the program head saying, "you fool, this is not the program for you"and i'm going to end up going for human services, my original plan. i'd be okay being in human services forever, but i don't think i'd be as happy as i will be back in the classroom.
i'm sorry that everyone has nothing more interesting to read other than walking through my mid-life crisis with me. i promise soon i'll be back to our regularly scheduled fluff-programming.

Mid life crisis? How old are you?
Old enough to be at middle age?
Your pictures sure don't show that.
She isn't old enough for her to have a mid life crisis. If it is a mid life crisis, she's going through it about 20 years too early.
Go for it. If you don't, you'll always wonder what might have been.
I'm 27. If it's a mid-life crisis, i'm dying at 54.
Well, while I don't actually know you, I can read enough into your posts and the emails you've sent to know that you are a very determined woman. You'll figure this out and you'll make the right decision. You'll get it all together and you'll make it happen. And you've listened to all of our taking risks stories about traveling or moving or something else. It's about time you shared one of your own! ; )
Carly, I didn't think of it that way, it's plain ole' my turn! I have no choice!
