Life changing

I’m not in the business of making life altering decisions. Really I’m not! I tend to lean towards the mundane and am quite adverse to change. I’m the type of person that is completely satisfied lazying on a Saturday morning with a good book and my cartoons *.

I’m going back to school. It’s been 7+ years working at my current day job, 5+ years teaching and probably around 6 years consulting. I think I’m a bit burnt out and needed a change. When my college offered me the opportunity to get into the program and specialty that I wanted, I had to jump on it.

Anyway, I’m not entirely sure of what the new year holds for me but I’m ready and very excited. So I wanted to ask, what should I do to prepare for school?

* By cartoons I mean anime, you know: blood, gore, high school kids in short skirts and tentacles (who can forget tentacles!)

congrats! i’m sure that going back to school will help recharge your batteries :) and i’m sure you don’t need us to tell you what you need to prepare…you’ll probably come up with some kind of justification to buy more gadgets!

you will need more than one pen. seriously, maybe you would disagree since you teach, i’ve always had one pen for work. when you’re in school, you realize that note taking require different colours. your 21 year old classmate will look at you and think you’re from the hills, with your fancy papermate ball point. or, if you start using your credit card as a ruler. really, i got the evil eyes on me for my econ exams.

I've never been good at writing about me/site pages. It seems too much like self-promotion and being the stereotypical passive-agressive asian; I would rather walk around a crowd and into a train rather than interact with a bunch of people. I'm shy that way, which also contradicts this website that talks about me and my life. My friends and family would care to disagree though, since they've seen my crazy & loud side. More »
