I know all I talk about is school but seriously it is my life. Pretty much my entire life. I am so thankful to be able to be going to school, but sometimes I just wish I was doing something else. Sometimes I feel like my twenties were spent studying. At least the last 4 year of it. I am exhausted 95% of the time and so drained that I rarely am out having fun. Most people who are around me say that if I'm not working, then I am studying and if I'm not studying than I am working. I NEED to have an outlet. I am so burned out. I stay up til 2 sometimes 4am to study and not because I have procrastinated but because I literally study all day, all night and into the morning. I'm not sure if I am just not that great at school or if my classes are THAT hard. But I'm worn out. I don't want to come off as being whiny, that is not my intention. I AM grateful to be going to school, I enjoy learning, I WANT to go to school so that I can have a good career and provide for myself one day, but sometimes I just question what the heck am I doing this for??? And is it worth it? I really hope it is, but sometimes it is hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel when you're right in the middle of it. Plus I just have to get this off my chest...it is ridiculous that people can graduate with C's and go on to become teachers...but I have to get straight A's to clean teeth! Seriously???? UGh. Maybe I should seriously consider being a teacher. I came across a good quote recently and read over it often.

I love it. But it takes a lot of courage to actually act on that. Not sure I have it.
Well....here's to my first final tomorrow...hope all the studying was worth it. Time for bed!

ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteI would like to talk to you about an article I wrote that, being a parent, I think you would enjoy (on early childhood education). I'd love it if you could drop me an email quick so I can give you more details if you're interested or if you were interested in new content for your blog.

Hey...studying is worth it. I thought in school "when am I ever going to use this" and I now wish I would have pushed myself more to really learn everything. When you graduate from hygiene school and get your big fat paycheck you will finally realize it was worth it. :) Good luck with it, you can do it.
