Too School For Cool

A year and a half ago I decided to further educate my life being fully aware of what I was getting into. I knew I'd have to write a thesis (I even knew when it would be due...oops). I knew I would be a graduate assistant and get to do fun things that take up a lot of time. I knew I would still be working at my same job. I also told myself that I wouldn't complain about school. I felt like I had done it way too often in undergrad and I'm tired of all the facebook status's that complain about staying up late to write a 3 page paper that should've been done at the beginning of the semester. When I started this adventure towards a higher degree I was really optimistic about it, I was literally never behind in my work, and I really didn't have a bad thing to say about life. Recently this has not been the case. Truth is, not even a month into it, Spring 2011 has handed me the busiest time of my life. This also goes to prove I haven't had a very stressful life I guess. All this to say, I need one of those attitude make-overs where I don't talk crap about school anymore. I don't wanna be that kid. Afterall I'm getting paid thousands of dollars to learn more about the stuff I love, to teach/go kayaking and rockclimbing twice a week, go on backpacking trips, make cool new friends, and get the Winthrop discount at Moe's. Sure I'm busy literally every second but hey, I have the rest of my life to be a normal working adult with a 9-5 job. That is until I'm the Director of Parks and Rec. But I have time to prepare for that.

Application: I don't intend on going around shouting about how much I love school. I don't want to shout lies at people. But there's no need in me acting like I lost an arm just because I have to write a paper. So bloggers, next time I facebook, tweet, or write about school with uncalled for negativity, you can yell at me. Maybe I'll give you a quarter. I can't afford to be doing all that, so here's hoping it works.
