Being a Student

I think that if someone were to examine my life they would feel like they are experiencing whiplash. I move through projects and processes very quickly it would seem. I'm pretty sure people don't understand that about me. I'm a pretty private person. I don't really make my intentions known until I've completely decided to do something and I'm ready to jump in with both feet. I promise I do put a lot of thought into decisions ahead of time I just don't broadcast it until I've fully decided.

This particular endeavor I have been considering for a while now and I think I'm ready to make the leap back into the world of academia. I've only told a couple people and they have all been encouraging, but still there's that little voice inside me that says
"Why now? Why not wait for a more convenient time? You are so going to fail at this again! You're so busy!" I know it's just fear, but still it sure can shout loudly and convincingly. I've been praying about returning to school for 6+ months and I really feel like God is leading me to go back and finish what I started 14 years ago. I have a couple ideas where I'm hoping this degree completion will take me but I'm not ready to share that just yet, I need to ponder it a little longer. And it looks completely different than what I thought I wanted when I started my degree at 18 years old. I'm equal parts excited and terrified of where this road is going to lead me. So I'm going to adopt the motto of Disney's Meet the Robinsons and just say to myself "Just keep moving forward." So that's where I currently am. Welcome to the crazy world known as my life.
