I have been busy.
Life has put a wrench in my plans.
I will be starting my doctorate studies in organizational leadership in a couple of weeks.
I'm excited but scared.
I've been at my job now for 13 months...
I survived!
Or rather, I found my place for the time being.
While I have been getting ready to go to school
I found out that we have to move out of our rental house.
I didn't want to spend another holiday in this ugly house anyways.
But I didn't want it to happen right as I am planning on going to school.
I thought it wasn't going to happen because I am not financially ready for the move.
I decided that we couldn't move until a few other things happened.
Well, the fates decided that it wasn't going to wait for us to move.
But we still don't have the finances to move anywhere around here.
So, this is where my fear is stemming.
We will be packing, we just don't know where.
I planned my finances for one major expense: school.
Not school and moving.
It almost seems impossible, especially since I have been catching up for the last 7 years.
It seem like I was finally going to get ahead.
Rent around here is so high and I don't make enough to rent here.
A rock and hard place.
This is why people wind up staying where they are...it's too expensive to move and it's too hard to get out.
If it was after I was done with school, I could see a better possibility.
Whatever happens, it has to be done.
We are packing.
I will be packing.
I also have to get prepared for school-reading books, finishing a 'bootcamp' (which I think has been absolutely useless) and getting ready to travel for a school conference during Labor Day weekend, which I think is stupid.
Oh, they will hear from me when it is time to ask students, "what can we do to make this better?"
But I am looking forward to this new study and seeing what I can do from this.
I'm full of ideas now!
