Its hard to believe that I am now in June and have approximately 12 weeks left before returning to work. Yea, I know, 12 weeks is alot. But not as much as 12 months were…lol.
I’ve continued with my silver jewelry making classes though the five week course is not as good as the 13 week course. Too condensed, too fast paced and the majority of the people in the class, are extremely talented and creative. Thats not to say, its not fun. Its alot of fun just very hard work.
I’ve started on my summer credits and its interesting though I am so uncertain whether I should even be doing it. I will however, complete the six credits (in six weeks) and finish the certificate program in the Fall with my doing an externship while I return to work full time as well.
I have so much going through my mind about life, work and me. I feel in limbo with everything these days. I want to just get on a plane and go away. I’m feeling on the verge. I’m feeling everything around me either makes too much sense or no sense. What do u do when you’re in limbo? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not tormented or feeling suicidal, just feeling that I’m not where I want to be at this point in my life and questioning whether I’ll ever have what I want or be where I want to be at this point in my life.

OH god– And here I thought you had it all together. Let’s see– what I do. . . A friend of mine in her fifties who is pursuing her masters in psychology said this is a transition age. Women focus outside the home more than they ever did before. We’ve raised our kids and we’re feeling at loose ends. It doesn’t matter if you were a working mom or not because you still felt your first priority was getting those kids grown all those years. Suddenly you’re looking at your career and realize how you’ve neglected it or feeling stuck in a deadend job. So MANY of my friends have gone back to school to switch careers in their fifties. You seem to be right on track. Others divorce. Not all of us can do that, or want to. One of my friends said she just makes sure she always has something to look forward to– a trip or something. That sounds reasonable. Right now I’m looking forward to seeing you at the Con this summer. . And wanting to go back to school. To do WHAT? I have no clue.
