From Huskies To Husbands

You know the kind where Murphy’s Law is in effect… 

I came into town today with my DH (he had to come anyhow for work) so that I could do the grocery shopping and run a few other errands.  Well since he starts work at 6 am, I had to find something to do until the stores and such opened.  Enter the computer lab… I proceeded to do my drops for entrecard then to be nice I was like OK lets do DH’s drops for him too.  So, since I am trying to do something nice Murphy had to come intervene.  The computer keeps locking up, Internet Explorer keeps “not responding”, then after I get back up and running I accidentally flip the power bar with my foot and turn the whole system off!!  LOL  However, I didn’t let all those issues stop me from doing my good deed!!  So, go me on that one!

I hope that grocery shopping and errand running goes better than the good deed did!

I also want to touch upon the other thing that I noticed while sitting in the university computer lab.  I feel old!!  When I first got here there was nobody in here, now as I type this the whole lab is almost full (about 50 computers in this particular computer lab).  I feel like all these young fresh to college “kids” are looking at me and going what in the world is that old lady doing in here!!  LOL - I am only 34 years old so why I feel that way I don’t know.  However, I have been thinking about returning to the collegiate life - OK just to the education portion of collegiate life.  Yeah, I know you are thinking ummm don’t you already have a Master’s of Education and can’t seem to find a decent paying job!!  Well, yes… But, maybe the not find a job thing is because the degree is in a field that people don’t really need  hence the lack of job.  The degree that I have been contemplating going back for is a PharmD - basically a Doctorate in Pharmacy.  Contemplating is the key word there as according to the application materials my B.S. is too old and I would need to repeat the prerequisite course work unless I can get special consideration.  I really do not want to redo basic Biology, basic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, and more.  Been there, done that, got the pretty little piece of paper to prove it!  Heck I have two pretty little pieces of paper to prove it!  I even have worked in labs, big labs, that prove I have used my education in the past - The question is will that be enough to get them to forgive the age of my degree?  I would be OK with having to take a few classes before beginning the PharmD program, but not basically everything which is something that I know they have had other non-traditional students such as myself do.  My other big question is do I really want to do this - The whole go back to school thing?  Do I want to spend approximately the next 5 years of my life in school again?  That would make me around the big 4-0 age wise and really starting over career wise.  Is that a smart thing to do?  I want a family.  Yes, I know I am already 34 with no kids yet, but we are “working” on that issue (and that in and of itself is an entirely different blog posting).  Do I want to try to do school and raise a family?  Yes, I know that people do it all the time - But is it something I want to do?  So many questions and so few answers… I really need to figure it all out and get my $h!t together!!

So, world give me your opinion… What should I do?!?
