I feel so lucky to be in an environment where I’m constantly surrounded by people smarter than I am, but at the same time, I’m having a hard time with this goal. I had originally thought I would get a PhD, but after a semester in, I’ve really lost my desire to stay in school for years. Part of that’s just practicality, I got engaged right before I left for school and we’re getting married this Christmas. I’m anxious to be done with long-distance and make a home. I taught high school for a year and I’m starting to think I may just need to go back to that, maybe teach at a community college on the side, too. I feel like I never have anything to say in my classes, I feel unprepared most of the time, and I feel like I have no focus. I am meeting with a counselor to talk about working on being more disciplined, but when it comes to time management, I can just waste so much time, and then writing is difficult. :/ I am hoping to work with a really amazing professor here for my thesis, but I need to focus on surviving the rest of the semester. 2 months ago

Long story short, it looks like I’ll be doing a Masters Degree in History. It really is the subject I like best, and has really broad applications.
The plan is to start taking language classes Summer 2013, because I need a foreign language for any of the programs I am looking at. I will then begin the actual coursework for the Masters around Fall 2014. 6 months ago

To do your masters, you really… really have to LOVE what you are learning. It’s not to say that I don’t love OT; I absolutely do, however there’s always a right time for everything :) 9 months ago

I contacted the school I will be attend to make sure everything is still in the system for October 2013 and it appears so.
I’ve been toying with the idea of getting specific training so I am ready to enter the works of consulting. Also I intend on taking Economics and likely speaking courses. 10 months ago
