Just some thinking I'm doing today that I thought I'd put down here and allow comments on if you wish- hearing other people's thoughts on it would help me a lot, I think. Reading it would be much appreciated ( Read more... )

I wish I could give you some of Jen's Grand Advice, but there isn't any for this. I will say that we should talk. About this, and other stuff. Soon. In the meanwhile, I'm sending you 8GBFS and lots of hugs.:)

Sooo I know you haven't heard from me in like.. forever, BUT, I just was thikning along the same lines with my mother recently. She told me that everyone has their own pace they must go at when it comes to education. Some people need more time because they mentally need that time whether be because you aren't quite as quick as that smart-ass kid sitting next to you in Stats class, or because you are just SO burnt out you need that mental recharge. I've heard so many people say that once you get out, you don't go back. But that comes from people that did just that, they left high school or college and never returned. What about the people that did get out and actually went back? I know PLENTY!!! They're just not a bunch of pessimistics! (sp?) Any who.. as long as you know what your plan is, stick to it! If you want to make some money, make a plan that you will get out of school for X amount of months/years, and at that point in your life you will go back. As long as you have a plan and know there is no other option for you, then you ( ... )

It did, thank you! :) I think we're thinking along the same lines, definitely. And if I took a year off I don't think I'd even just spend it working at Uno's. :P I don't even know if I'd spend it at home, we'll see...if I do spend it at home, chances are I'd stay at Uno's just because I already have a job there and such, but I'd probably only work nights and weekends and find some sort of other job for the day- maybe some kind of office work, something that would look good on a resume.

hhaha.. I didn't mean working at Uno's would be bad ;-) I was just saying, I highly doubt you'd be the one that's worked there for like 20 years! You're wayyyy too smart for that! Making money as a waitress is probably one of the smarter ideas! I think living at home and working (and living off the rents) is actually another smart way to go too. They don't mind you being there, they probably like it in a way! That's what I'll be doing when I start working as an RN.. just long enough so me and Jonathan can get our claws into life and get going :)
