Contemplation

So, some of you are aware that I applied for grad school. For those of you that aren't, I applied for the Master of Science School Counseling program at Butler. The benefit of working at Butler is that I can go for free. So, you might wonder why it has taken me 6 years to actually apply. Well, for a while I really wasn't ready to start school over again and then I had Luke. I decided last year to go with for it and I applied. Well, I got admitted, but was put on the wait list until recently. I got my official acceptance letter last week, I went ahead and accepted it, because I had to let them know by Friday, but I have until July to make my final decision. So, after all that I've went thru to get in you might wonder why I'm hesitant about going back. Several reasons really... 1. I am admitted on a conditional admit, meaning I have to follow a few 'rules'. I have to get a 3.5 in the first four classes, pass a comprehensive exam of those four exams and some other things. 2. The time commitment that it will take to complete the program. I will be gone from home one night a week while classes are in session. The studying doesn't worry me, Luke goes to bed early enough that I can study after he goes to bed. I've got a few things to figure out before July, needless to say. There are some positives to the program, like if I become a school counselor I will have my summers off. I will be done with the program while Luke is still young, I'll finish grad school when he finishes 1st grade. I just don't want to go into the program thinking that I don't have to finish, I want to make sure I can give it my all. Should have done it before I had Luke... if only I knew then what I know now. ;) The nice thing is my boss and Erik are very supportive, so that will help if I decide to go thru with it. Stay tuned for my final decision. :)
Today has been weird, weather wise. Mid afternoon it started sleeting. Now, mind you, yesterday it was warm here. So, needless to say when I got out to my car I had about a half inch of ice to scrap off my windows, while being pelted by ice. Not fun! I didn't get home until 7:00 tonight after stopping by the store for a couple things, normally I would get home around 6:00 and that is with going to the store. I'm ready for Spring!
Not much else is going on. Sorry for those of you that tune in to read a funny story about Luke, I have none tonight, maybe tomorrow. I'll have to tell him to do something funny. :) Hope you all had a great day! Until tomorrow...
