Back to school

I stopped by blogger just now thinking that it had been a little while since I posted, but to my surprise, it has already been a month since my last post.  "That can't be right!" I thought, but alas, the proof was there and it was true.  Life has been crazy for the last year with school and work, but even as I say that I know it is not totally true. 

Fact... life is always crazy. 

I am always running around and trying to fit in as much as possible while still trying to be asleep as much as I can (I love sleep!).  I think it is not so much life being busy that keeps me away from here, it is more that my brain is busy.  It is full of articles on great American writers, on Freud's theories on sexuality and a poetry writers handbook.  My brain is going, going, going and I worry that by the time my body gets in front of the blank post page, anything that comes out will be unrecognizable mush.

So far going back to school has made my life many things, but despite the minor breakdowns and a bit of brain overload, I am so glad that I went back!  I am loving what I am learning now that I am old enough and (as much as I hate to admit it) mature enough to finally know how to go to school.   Before I didn't understand the point of studying.  School was always just something to get through and to do enough to pass.  Now though, it is a whole different world and I finally feel like I am getting what I want and need out of it.  I'm finally the studious nerd I always knew lived inside of me, I guess I just had to wait until she was ready to make her life debut.
