so, the first two years of grad school, i was truly amazed at how, well, easy it was to go to school and work full-time at a pretty high-stress job. now my third year is here, and i’m in my internship, and classes are still pretty easy and pretty interesting, and i’m very much enjoying what i do every day but wow – i absolutely cannot wait until the only scheduled thing i really have to worry about is one 32-40 hour a week job. just imagine the things i could do…actually become part of a home group again, spend hours an evening hanging out with my husband, have time to make a daily cleaning schedule, go out with friends, read more than one optional book a month, plan my menus and cook amazing meals, work out more than once a month, have substantial phone conversations with people, raise a child. just, wow.
so, there you have it. life is good, but my time is not my own. you know what, though? i’m really loving my life. i am so close to having the career i really want. i have an amazing husband who is also doing something he loves (and it’s taking off, and i’m so proud of him!) i have some pretty incredible people who love me.
sigh. but i’m still bone-tired tonight.
how are you?
