In the midst of the shitshow that 2020 has been I made the brilliant decision to return to school while working full time.
Yeah, I regret my life choices.
It is now the end of the first quarter and I have survived . I also made the realization that I am not turning in two projects for two of my classes. All have come due at the exact same time and I could: a. drink the redbull and hope that I can stay awake all night to turn in two sub-par projects, or b. write to my teacher and confess that I am not turning them in.
I have chosen to do b.
This is such a hard decision for me, I cannot even begin to explain it. But, it is something that I need to do for my own mental health.
I have returned to school to get my bachelors degree in Funeral Services. I am not sure what benefit it will have in the immediate future, but it is something that I want to do for myself.
I was the first in my family to graduate from college and I like learning. So, when the school offered up the chance to take part in the first cohort of the bachelors program, I took the chance.
The classes are designed for working professional, but to be honest, the amount of time needed to study is far greater that I anticipated.
I am taking microeconomic, the psychology of death and dying, and communication for business professionals. There is just not enough time in the day to do all the reading and write my papers. Sigh. Which brings me to not turning in two projects.
I cannot wait for this year to be over and for January 20th to arrive. I will begin to breathe a little easier once that day arrives.
For those looking to relax while waiting for the end of this terrible year might I suggest some Youtube videos? Our home has been gorging on the following channels for entertainment:
Moriah Elizabeth - She does art and squishy makeovers. Kinda addictive to watch at times.
Nerdycrafter - does some amazing cash or trash reviews on DYI kits that you can pick up at target, walmart, amazon.... She and her sister are very amusing to watch.
Kawami Japan - This guy is just to hard to describe. He makes knives from the weirdest of objects and its all about the journey to get there. Also, cows.
Sand Tagious - this is all ASMR kinetic sand cutting. Very soothing.
most but not all of the soap cutting ASMR videos. YMMV as to which ones you like or hate. I never know until the video has started.
Here is to the next year, may it find you and yours in a better place.
Peace out.
