school, both school-work and school-school, is back in full swing. when i was contemplating going back to school last spring i began to wonder if i was becoming a school junkie. you know, someone is who is always working towards a degree, constantly studying, constantly learning but never really applying that knowledge. my head was full of nagging questions like, “are you going back to school because you are bored?” “do you believe you are above everyone else who sits at a desk from 8-5 and hates it as well?” “how can you be sure this is really what you want to do?”.

this past week and a half at school-work has been grueling. like drop-dead-the-minute-i-hit-the-door-grueling. but…i absolutely love it. i love: hearing arabic, spanish and chinese all spoken at once, learning that women in india do not take their husband last names when they marry and explaining when to use  a lot verse much.

i am hesitant to say this, but i think i have found it. my vocation. my passion. my strengthes. all week i have been sighing in relief. no you aren’t crazy for signing up for another masters. yes yes yes, this really might be it.

sigh. :)
