Dreams and or nightmares of pleasant and or unpleasant things…

Ever had one of those crazy times where you suddenly find yourself daydreaming and thinking about things that terrify you? A day where you can’t even fathom why you started pondering about such odd things? Well it seems I’ve had a couple of those days this last week. The main thing that I’ve been pondering on is school. *Cue dramatic music with a side of thunder and lightning*

It’s come to my attention and realization that for me to succeed in business I need to return unto the halls of knowledge. Unfortunately the last time I was there I left a smoldering pile of detritus, most of which used to be my intellect. I left feeling dumber than when I went in and wasn’t planning on going back for seconds any time soon. Teachers seemed more interested in their classes overall standing in the province than actually helping a student who didn’t get the concept. Thus I left there as fast as humanly possible, not really thinking about where I was actually going in life. I just needed out.

Fast forward 5 years, 1.75 years of marriage(so far so good) and 1 kid later I’m smacking my head saying, “You idiot! Life would have been so much easier if you’d have paid attention!” I realize that now for me to trek back into the educational realm is going to be all the more challenging.

So I started looking into course outlines for a degree in Business Management, cuz I like the sound of it :D. I started reading through the courses and think to myself that this wasn’t looking too bad, until I spotted the dreaded word… Calculus!!! My heart spasmed, my brain twitched and I sneezed. Calculus!!! My brain cried out,
“The way is shut.
It was made by those who are Dead.
And the Dead keep it.
The way is shut. ”

So I said, “Shut up you! I’m going to do it with or without you!”
To which I heard the reply, “How hard could it be?” Only maniacal laughter followed.

So I begin my trek into the final frontier. Going where this man has never gone before. I’m going to University, some day lol. I have to apply first… Which hopefully won’t be too hard as now I am termed a ‘Mature’ student. *falls off chair laughing* I went from a student without a hope of ever being accepted into anything other than an art school to possibly being admitted into a business school in 5 years. Go figure.

So pray for me. I’m going to need it. Pray for bravery, pray for confidence, pray that I get accepted. Pray that God would turn on my brain and that the concepts would sink in and be understood. Pray that I’ll be able to pay for it as it’s a pricey endeavor. Pray pray pray!
