In my mind, I believe myself to be fairly creative. Behind it I have a terribly wicked (not wicked-evil- wicked, but wicked "cool" wicked.....Is it even cool to say wicked now? Oh, whatev) imagination. I'm not sure where it came from, but I'm sure it's part hereditary, part Nancy Drew, part Ramona, and, well real life! (Sometimes real life is too crazy it canNOT be imagined!)
I have been known to be found sitting on the floor (My first favorite place to sit in my living room is the floor) and to be surrounded with crafting supplies and materials and pictures.
My creative crafting side, unfortunately, has been thwarted over the last few years as I made a decision in the Spring off 2008 to go back to school. As if all the years from Kindergarten through 12th grade in High School, and then 4 additional years of college were not enough, I determined that I needed a second dose of literacy torment. I am 1 test, 2 partial classes, and 1 assignment away from being finished with this second dose of schooling. I. Am. Ecstatic. Summer is right before my eyes and I have visions of running and biking, writing, and crafting to my little heart's contentment all bouncing around in my head.
In addition, the internet, Facebook, and more importantly Pinterest (Oh, Beloved Pinterest) has opened my eyes to a whole gamut of ideas and projects. Did I mention I was ecstatic??!?!
However, there is this tiny, tiny, teeny tiny speck, that is anticipating that I will miss school, miss the learning and the challenges. How will I fill my time? What's it like to be a regular working person, and not a regular working person, and a full time college student??? I do not remember!!
Tonight, I spoke with my school mentor (my school adviser in short) about my plans for finishing up and my dreams of what's next.
"My mom has already threatened myself if I enroll in additional classes right after I'm finished...."
She laughed. Then she stated the following statement, "You know that there is a Masters Program you can enroll in. It's only four classes. Not a standard Masters program. Six months and you're finished. Nothing compared to the classes you are completing now..."
Instantly, my mind starts moving and calculating. Could I? Should I? Did my mom really threaten me with physical violence? Can my friends handle me, crazy, wide eyed, and homework laden for a few more months? Maybe. Perhaps, just maybe.
First things first, before I move to the next task, I should finish my current program. Then afterward, perhaps I should get elbows deep into a few fun projects, live as a regular worker person for a while and then decide.
Crazy, wide eyed with a glue gun and some scissors, or sleep deprived and buried in a bed of books? Both of the ideas are calling out to me.
For now, I better ignore them both, I've got some sleeping to do.

You should pat yourself on the back and be proud of all that you have done so far and what you are about to have finished!! What an awesome accomplishment.
