I have always been my own worst enemy. I have an inability lead a slow paced, happy life. Instead, I fill my life with chaos, high stress, and mediocre tasks. I always think that I will get back to posting, but the problem is the day of smooth sailing never comes. The only exciting thing that I have going on in my life is not house projects, which I loved posting. All I do is teach school, sleep, and go to school (do clinicals). In my spare time I walk my big black puppies three times. They want my attention all day long.
This semester was a near miss. I struggled through 5 classes (which most people only take 3 in their doctorate). Then as I struggled there were two classes that I almost failed. I was lucky and with the help of the man above, just barely passed. This upcoming semester I have 4 classes. The good news is that for the final two semesters I will only have 2 classes a piece. I cannot tell you the bliss that the light load will bring to my life.
I have been so busy that the Minnesota Adventures have ceased to exist. I am hoping that I will be able to jump right back onto the band wagon when school settles down. I have had some culture adventures...attending Islamic weddings, celebrating Easter with the Orthodox Christians from Ethiopia (which is on a different day then our Easter), and so forth. Sometimes I wonder why I continue with school when there are so many other great adventures out there in the world. The answer is not that I really want my doctorate at this point. It is that I don't want to spend the rest of my life wondering "what if" I had finished it. So, on I press with only little motivation and great fatigue, with plans to blog again whenever the time presents itself.
