What do I want to do with my life.
I feel as if I field this question on an all too regular basis.
"So what are your plans for the future Erin? Where do you see this "thing" going?"
I realize that 24.8 years of age, I should have an idea of what I want to do with my life.
I should have at least a bachelors degree.
You don't know how embarrassing it is to realize that this a milestone people younger than me have reached two.years.ago.
MY YOUNGER SISTER HAS ALREADY GRADUATED COLLEGE.
I shouldn't be embarrassed. I know this.
It's not like I've slacked off.
But people don't know that, and I don't have time to explain the ridiculous situations surrounding my college career each and every time I'm asked.
As I stated in a previous post, one of the perks of my job is nine credit hours free per semester. Something that will be a huge blessing, but I'm conflicted.
When I graduated high school, I really didn't think much about which school I was going to attend. There was a community college in town, and I was more than happy to attend classes there.
I was a shy kid, so the thought of moving away from my parents, family and friends completely terrified me. So the idea of going to a university never really occurred to me.
When I moved to Kn.oxville the options were endless.
There were so many colleges at my disposal, but PSTCC called my name with its offering of a Photography program, so I applied and was accepted there.
Despite financial aid problems, I have absolutely loved my time there.
I love their class selection.
I love their course schedules.
I love their openness when it comes to my guide dog puppies.
Now I'm faced with the affore mentioned dilemma.
During my time at PSTCC I have looked dismissively into classes at UTK, and have never been impressed with the offerings. So much fluff, not enough stuff. In. my. humble opinion. Too much money. Good-bye!
But now... it looks as if they are my only option. Sure, they offer a fee waiver to at least one class at another Board of Regions school ... but I really NEED To take as many classes as possible.
Don't get me wrong, the prestige of going to a university has its draw. A very STRONG draw. But its just that to me, a status symbol.
Argh!
Perhaps I'm just scared of the unknown.
I am prone to doing that.
Oh who am I kidding.
I'm absolultely terrified of the unknown.
What if I don't finish this degree either? Am I destined to be stuck as a recpetionist forever?
