    Default My life feels strangely vacant now

    I have spent much of the last 12 months working almost non-stop on masters dissertation. It was a seemingly endless process involving countless hours of interviews, research, writing, etc.
    I turned it in a couple of days ago. It was approved for submission today.

    For the next month or so, I don't have class or any type of work to do. Not a single thing. I have no idea of what to do with all my time.
    Boredom sucks.

    Well... now it's time for you to do something you'd "like" to do, instead of something you "have" to do. You've earned it.

    I plan to do a ton of vegging during the winter break. I have to complete the clinical hours needed for my masters beginning mid-January. I also have to do a seminar in crisis management.
    The real world beckons me the first week of April. I begin my first full-time job as a secondary school counselor for at-risk students. Our new house in Orange County should be ready to move into by the first of May. Which is about the same time as we take the final step in the adoption process. Fingers crossed and God willing, my husband and I should have a daughter by the first of June.

    Shoot, I'm going for a MA in history as soon as I can find the institution willing to finance. I may have a combo MA/Phd with U of I in the offing. Should take 5-6 years for both. Just in time to be an adjunct prof when I'm too old for middle school.
