Well I passed both of my classes

Time to celebrate, but it's also a wake up call for me that I need to say adios to grad school (at least until I am more established). I met some interesting people in my classes, and even still communicate with one of my classmates. It also lets me know that I am definitely up for the whole empty whole E-Business program, and that I need to focus on Marketing. I did say that I will try to give teaching a shot (despite my many protests because I know that's not all I can do with my educational and occupational background). So, right now I'm trying to put together my application, and see when I can take the Praxis II because I am interested in working in Secondary Education History or English (skipping 6-9th grade if I could). This might even give me a chance to take some classes in subjects that will actually hold my interest.
I leave you with this, while I watch "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring" and sip my egg nog (don't judge me, I'm a big geek but a cool one lol). Instead of Beauty School, switch it to Grad School Drop Out lol.

Wow...I guess it's their way of spinning 1/4 life into motivational speaking

Well last week I was just talking about 1/4 life crisis, and look what I found on clutch magazine today.
Motivational Tips

You do your best to keep from thinking about the events of the day but cannot help seeing as how it only going to repeat itself the next, it’s the same thing everyday … that is when it hits you… you are stuck. You start to wonder about what happened to the goals and dreams that you had once mapped out for yourself? There are so many people your age that are so successful… why can’t you indulge in that same success? Daunting thoughts roam through your mind… How did I get here? How can I fix this? Where am I going? You are intelligent, fun-loving, creative, and gorgeous if you do say so yourself! So what is keeping you from having the success you dream about…?

I love it!!! I love their blog/site, and they are usually right on time when it comes to socio-political issues.

Would you be willing to sacrifice..

I just got finished listening to Willie Jolley (I love him! so passionate about being positive), and this is inspiring a question that I've been wanting to ask: would you rather keep a job doing something you hated, made you sick and sometimes depressed to go to just so you can make a certain $$$ amount? OR would you take a job with a pay cut because you are doing something you love, and you have no problem with cutting back in your life? talk ya talk folks!

P.S. If you want to hear or read anything by Willie Jolley you go to his facebook fan page Willie Jolley fan page OR his blog Willie Jolley the "Comeback Guru"

Day dreaming

In my fantasy world, I travel the globe writing about different venues for generation x/y-ers who just so happen to have families of their own. This is coming from me watching the movie “The Truth About Charlie,” and me always wanting to be involved in something internationally (preferably in Europe). I know I always wanted to get into the field of International Relations, but that changed once we started our family. Now it’s looking like now that I have this history degree, what am I really supposed to do. I know I want to work in IT, but not on the regular 9-5(6) trek. More of a freelancer, in web design/development (even though I do want to be a certified Network Security Specialist), and now I’m looking online seeing certificate programs for free! I mean I want my master’s, which I am currently pursuing, but not so sure if I want it in IT. I understand there’s a salary cap for just having a bachelor’s with certifications, but I’m honestly not concerned about that. I am concerned about me waking up enjoying my job, and even the long commute with the idiot drivers of 495 OR the funky passengers on Metro (lol).
I swear I am so confused with life, and my freaking purpose lol. Maybe I can just pile on certificates in things I’m interested in, maybe even something in tourism since I honestly do like travel and different cultures. Any suggestions?
