Wait and See

I’ve officially decided against going back to school in January (see previous blog post entitled Pros and Cons).  Perhaps in a couple years I’ll re-apply and give it a go, but for now, in the thick of other school loans, a house on the market that refuses to sell, and the uncertainty of where I’ll be living by the end of next year, I’m just going to wait and see.

Sigh.

The one thing that comes to mind is what Birdie tells Kathleen Kelley in You’ve Got Mail, right after The Shop around the Corner closes: “You are daring to imagine you could have a different life!  You are marching into the unknown armed with . . . nothing.”

Of course, that’s the half-empty way of looking at this.  The half-full version would insist that what I want to accomplish most in life is to publish a book or two, open a coffeehouse, and travel extensively – none of which require that I take out a huge loan in order to obtain a Master’s degree. 

In the mean-time . . . I’ll continue to work, write fiction, and raise my kid (or pretend to be a kid with him?).  Plus I’ve got a few hobbies that could use some attention.  Can’t go into further detail, though, because that would spoil my New Year’s resolutions (wouldn’t want to jinx my resolve).
