thought of school

It was four months ago that I entered a heated discussion with one of the directors of my previous employer. It was very upsetting to me, but helped me realize that I had to break away from the stagnant/semi-comfortable life I had accustomed myself to. That led to a month of once again pondering the dreaded question...What do I want to do in life? The back burner thought of going back to school burst into flames, as I realized that my greatest strength was in Advertising. The next day, I signed up for the GRE. Shortly after, I applied for the Master's program in Advertising with the University of Texas. A couple of weeks later, I sent my resume out for a couple of jobs in Austin. I had a bunch of "back up" schools lined up (since the UT seemed very unlikely at the time), but when January rolled around, I was offered a job in Austin, which led to me thinking school would have to once again ride the back of the stove top. One month after being out here, I got the news that I was accepted into the UT.

I don't think life has ever been this smooth to me before. In between the cracks of this story, is actually a far more interesting, better than a soap opera story, but I save that for my conversations.

I'm excited to go back to school, especially in a field of study that I find extremely interesting and will elevate me to my second degree of occupational happiness (to be explained on the next post).
