Woo Hoo!

I am so excited, because I talked to Margarett and Anne at Heaven Sent Births, and I can be an apprentice with them!!! I am going to get back with them closer to December, and see when I will start. I need to wait until this December because I need to free up some time away from classes at OSU. I am going to go and talk to my advisor tomorrow and get enrolled for next semester. I hope that I can just get classes on Tues and Thrs. that would be ideal!
Anne was asking me why I was still in school if I knew I wanted to be a midwife and wanted to get out of school. I told her that it was because I had alot of money invested into it and I didn't want to leave with alot of money in it. It would feel wasted. She told me that she didn't agree with that and that that was a bad reason to stay in school. The reason I am talking about this, is because it really made me think about why I am still in school. Why am I really still in school? To be able to fall back on it if I need it? For the past little while I have been mulling it over in my head and I think that I have figured out why I am still in school.
There are two reasons:
First, I really do love to learn. I may gripe about it but I am really happy when I am learning, And lastly it is important to me to finish something that I started. I want to follow through on something, not just quit in the middle because I had an ADD moment with some other thing that I enjoy doing. If I can finish this, then I know that I will follow through with the midwifery and being a good mom. It is not just about taking full advantage of the 25,000 dollars of debt I have accumulated, it is more about being a responsible adult! LOL, who knew ;) ? So rock on Amy and finish that college degree, by this time next year, I will be done :)
