To grad school or not to grad school...

I've planned on going to grad school since 2010, but I always put it off. I was working full-time and the commute would basically kill me.

Now that I have a job that allows me to work anywhere with an Internet connection, I no longer have those excuses. I can always move to QC to be nearer to UP so location is not something I have to worry about.

So why am I still hesitating?

Well, my reasons for going to graduate school have nothing to do with improving myself. I just like the idea of having something going for me aside from my job. I need a direction, and school seems to be a good one. I have no idea what to do after graduate school, but I have two to three years to figure that out.

Basically, I'm just trying to buy time until a bolt of enlightening (see what I did there?) hits me and I finally know what to do with my life.

I wonder if that's a good enough reason to go back to school...

And even if it isn't, it's still MY reason. I think I'm going to go for it.

First Post

As my fingers hover on the keyboard, I am reminded why I don't really have a blog: I have absolutely nothing to say. Nothing I'd like to share to the world anyway.

I'm in my 30s now so I'm over all that youthful angst. Angst seems to be a good source for writing. I'm even over questioning what to do with my life. Honestly? I've given up searching for an answer. I'm currently just enjoying my life. It has nothing to do with Zen and serenity, but more along the lines of 'Actively feeling angst is bloody exhausting.' Lazy as I am, I try very hard to avoid anything that exhausts me.

And on to things that exhaust me: exercise. I know it should be done for one's own health, but I have absolutely no motivation to do it. That little machine in Mercury Drug has told me that I'm within my normal weight, more than a little hypertensive, and that I've been lying about my height this whole time. While the rest are true, I refuse to believe that I'm merely 5'1.45". I've always claimed to be 5'3". This will take a little getting used to. However, I've decided to still claim to be 5'3". It's not like people walk around with tape measures.

And that's about the extent of my thoughts right now. I'm just enjoying typing on my amazingly price, second-hand ZaggKeys Pro keyboard. It's a nice Sunday afternoon, and I'm here sitting in a coffee shop, enjoying this little reprieve before I go back and do OT work.

And with that, I'm out.

Here's to hoping I'll 'see' you soon.

*update*

A guy just came up to me and asked me about this keyboard. I believe I just made my first real-life gadget recommendation. :)
