that dream where you miss a quiz.





When you go back to school you have dreams that you will miss an exam. 

or have a quiz you did not know about. 

That dream even happened to me when I wasn't taking a class. 



Working and school is a funny animal. It's super empowering and exciting and then also discombobulating. 

For four seconds a day I get stressed about it and then I remember it is a really amazing opportunity. 

This ability for us to do exactly what we want. when we want. 



to change up our lives. or to enhance them. 




(in my case I am in school to become a sign language interpreter. which is part of my art. not separate from. I am going nowhere. just talking to more people ;) ) 



I love to learn. So. sitting in a classroom is one of my favorite places. 
I could take less work
but when I am working towards something I really want, I realize it comes with the territory

....sacrifice.


totally familiar.


I think I have 42 lists around my house that tell me when things are due. 

I also carry several bags around. A computer bag. A teaching bag. A school bag. A project bag. A bag with just a glue gun in it that keeps showing up wherever I go.


Honestly it is a little crazy. but I am not a martyr. I am just juggling(flaming torches). 





I also eat neat things like significant blocks of cheese. 
and salt and vinegar chips.

oh. also. 

that quiz. 
I missed it.


IT HAPPENED .


in real life. 


and I am still distraught about the mix up and how it played out. The student in me is horrified and currently playing out a tragic stage death..spotlight...downstage left. 
(back in college I never skipped a single class. slept through one and cried but thats it) 



but the other parts of me are laughing really hard. 
because this is my life right now.




I missed a quiz. 
I got a parking ticket Thursday. 
Someone hit and run my truck and took my side mirror off.

AND I DONT REALLY CARE. 

I am sort of kicking ass. 




because I have chances.
