Today, I begin my final class for my Master's Degree in Educational Leadership/Student Affairs Administration. What will I do with this degree? Continue in my current job, with no pay raise or fanfare.
Ugh.
For no sensible reason, I began researching out-of-state grad schools this morning. Why would I do this? I really don't know. Thinking about the prospect is actually giving me chest pains.
Nonetheless, there's this little voice somewhere in the back of my mind telling me that someday, possibly in the next year, I may want to leave Michigan (which will mean leaving my son or toting him with me as a single mom) to complete another degree at a prestigious and respectable university. JUST IN CASE I somehow muster the courage to do this, I'd better be prepared, right?
This is not the first time I've done this. It happens at least once per year. Perhaps it is a distraction from the melancholy of my life. Usually, it makes me feel hopeful. This time, it's making me very nervous...
Maybe that means I'm actually planning to go through with it.
