Nothing sexy about it

[unseenoyster]

I enjoyed today's festivities.  It's always nice to spend time with my second family.  Plus Rachel is in town and it's been a while since I've seen her.    The food this year was grand.  almost everything was great.

I can kinda relate to how you feel. Sure, I've lived like a relatively independent adult over the last couple of years, but that independence was really illusion created by my parents money. I usually word that better, but I think you get the point.

I feel there's a bunch of different ways you can look at it for the going forward/backward/sideways, but I think it's easy to see as a forward step. It might be different if you were just going in for a masters, but you're going to study for a specific job. It's less like being a college student and more like being... I dunno, and intern or something. You're more likely to get a job then if it was a generic masters program that didn't teach real skills. Maybe it doesn't seem like a huge step towards becoming a real adult, but it seems like a very certain step in the right direction.

That is true. I suppose that's what Jen is doing as well, she's currently in pharmacy school. I will come out of the program with a set of skills directed at specific jobs. One field but with lots of options. I guess I'm also hoping that this feeling is something I'll out grow or lose at some point in my life because it feels like it's been around since high school. Right about the time when big decision came up with regards to life and the universe while I was still endeavoring to be a child, making mud pies and such other past times.
