As some of you know, I've said before that I wanted to go into an education program and become a teacher. Well, for at least the past year, I've really been having second thoughts. I decided today that I'm going to take at least a year off and take some time for me, and perhaps get a couple of computer certificates to improve my job propects. I've never had a real job - the only job I've had is working for my parents. I really feel like I don't have enough life experience to walk into a classroom and be a teacher at this point. I feel like if I go with the way I feel now, I will regret it because I will miss out on the enjoyment of the experience and program. I'm just totally burnt out as far as being a student is concerned - I'm 22 years old and it's ALL I've done!!

Since I made this decision, I've been so happy and relieved! I'm actually excited about my graduation ceremony in June now - before I didn't see it as important because I wasn't done, but for now, I'm going to be done and I can't wait! I will have an English degree - how cool is that!

My boyfriend has also said I'm "acting different" because I'm not moody and sullen, I'm just happy and laid back. A change for the better!! LOL

Just wanted to share this news with my PT friends! I'm so excited - I GRADUATE UNIVERSITY IN APRIL!!!! WOOOHOOO!!
