. . . crazy . . . nuts. . . insane
others say . . .
. . . i couldn't ever do that!
to which I reply. . .
. . . if I can do it - you could do it!!
and then they say . . .
. . . oh, but i would NEVER want to do that!! (implying that i'm CRAZY again!!!)
and some people say . . .
WHY are you doing it?
. . . alot depends on my mood when i answer this one (especially if they keep insinuating that i'm CRAZY!!!!!!!!!)
So pick the answer you would want to hear from me . . .
a) i'm not sure why i'm doing it
b) cuz i'm CRAZY!
c) i was inspired to do it
d) to help me through my mid-life crisis
e) cuz i need more face-book friends
f) so i can be smarter than my kids
then they ussually look at me and roll their eyes . . . ok, yes . . . thinking "she IS crazy!"
when people ask me . . .
. . . is it HARD?
I say. . .
. . . no, not really - - - time consuming. . . yes . . . but hard? no, no, not at all!!!!
(i wouldn't want them to think i'm CRAZY!!)
anyway . . . no matter what anyone thinks . . .
. . . after a nine month break . . .
. . . i've got my nose in the books . . . . . .
. . . and i am back in college . . . . full-time
. . . taking 14 credits . . . going 5 days a week. . .
majoring in sociology with a minor in marriage and family studies!
ok, Yes, I agree with you . . . I am CRAZY!!!
But I love it!!
and i'm almost done - - - only ONE semester left after this one
and I will have my bachelors degree!!!! Yippee!!!!!
I know I can do it! I HOPE I can do it!!
so . . . people say to me . . .
. . . what are you going to do when you are all done?
i smile . . . and with a sheepish grin (waiting for the CRAZY thought to show up on their faces again)
i say . . . what else???
. . . . master's degree?!?!?
