Just Not Enough Time 9/5/2004 4:10:32 PM
I'm sure many of you will be able to relate to this...there is just not enough time for "me." Obligations overwhelm and I don't have enough time to relax. Well, my life is going to change big time this week. Aside from working 40+ hours a week in a technical writing/project management job that bores me to tears...aside from have a huge house and not having enough time to keep up with the laundry, the cooking, the cleaning, and I don't even want to talk about dusting (what was I thinking when I bought a house with so much wood!)...I start back to college. Yes, that is a wonderful thing...at least I think so. I'm 41 years old - it's better late then never. Unfortunately, right out of high school when I went to college the first time, I just wasn't mature enough, serious enough to stick with it. And I've regretted dropping out for over 20 years. And I've done quite well in my career considering I don't have a bachelors degree - but you know, its just that time. I need to accomplish this. I've come up with excuses for too long. Life is just too short - I'm no longer waiting for some day. I'm going to do it, and I may not always like it, but I'm going to dedicate myself not only to graduating...but to graduating with honors. So those of you who have been putting things off...be it finishing your degree, or a time intensive project, or visiting someone you haven't seen in a long time, or taking that big vacation - just do it. I lost both of my parents in the past couple of years - and I know they would have been proud of me getting my degree - and now they won't see it. Well, depends what you believe...I believe they will see it, but not in a way that they can communicate they are proud. But the bottom line is I am going to fulfill my dreams. And it is time for you to do the same. There is no guarantee of tomorrow. Best wishes in all of your endeavors.
