A roller derby getaway
December 17, 2009There times when I question whether my decision to go back to school was the right one and if my career moves (and lack of) were smart.
This isn’t because I’m struggling in my classes or I don’t like graduate school. On the contrary, I’m a straight A student. Nor is it an admittance that I’m not pleased with all the free time I have now that I’m only working part-time. In fact, I’m very happy to have so much time to devote to roller derby, school, my mom’s Web site and, let’s be honest, staying up late and sleeping in even later.
It’s mainly my bank account that makes me doubt my decisions. I can’t help but wonder whether I should have looked for a new job instead of going to college. I certainly didn’t have the extra money for college. But what’s done is done and now the stress of being a poor college student is not so much resting on my shoulders, as it is crushing them. Why is it opportunities come at the most inopportune moments?
It will be nice to get away from home this weekend, play some roller derby against the Glass City Rollers and forget about all the little things clouding my vision, blurring my focus and causing me to doubt myself.
