"Getting there is half the fun." Not sure who said it, but for the most part they were right. In life, we are (or at least damn well should be) moving forward; towards something new, a new skill, job, adventure. I've been working towards my Masters now in one way or another since quitting my corporate whore job in September of 2004. Since then it has been an adventure, with highs and lows along the way.
It's getting to the point where I just want the journey to come to an end.
I miss the work world in a big way. I miss having money to randomly take a trip to Europe or Orlando to see friends I miss immensely. I want to have insurance, get my teeth cleaned, know my schedule and how much I will be making. I want to get back and work for a large entity; not necessarily a corporate position, but something people would recognize.
I crave a new location, someplace outside of WI and preferably the Midwest. I would love to get back to the Midwest in a couple years and continue my adventure in Minneapolis, Chicago, Milwaukee, etc. Right now I just need change; new ideas, new people, new scenery and a new way of life.
Excitement and anticipation fill my being as I think about the next phase. I'm ready to move on and make it happen, but I still have this part of my life that requires completion. On the bright side, I see the end and it motivates me to finish strong.
The journey is almost over, and I refuse to play the "I wish I was there" game too much, but it is nice to imagine the final destination occasionally.
