More than starting over again now, I meant to be again starting the entire educational journey--I was --FRIVOLOUS--(oh-surprise, surprise) when I went to college. By the time I figured out how much fun learning was, those wonderful years when everything was paid for and I had no responsibilities were over. I go back to school constantly. Let's see-I majored in Psych and Soc., went to grad school in theatre, quit after a year, went back when the boys were 2 and 4 for a music degree, went back VERY briefly to see if I wanted a masters in ed. psych. (didn't) six years ago. Studied voice for eight years after college. HAte to work for a living. So it isn't a question of starting over now, it's what shall I try next? Sometimes I regret not getting really good at SOMETHING. ANYTHING. I have this fear that one day I'll have to justify my existence and will be hardpressed to come up with a reason the world should keep me around---like in that scene in Armageddon (took me three spelling dings to get that right)when they take all the most accomplished people, the necessary ones, underground to live while the rest of us get washed away. Noah would have passed me right by. On the other hand, I watch the people whose goal is to be at the TOP and who seem to have little else in their lives and think-NAW-they're missing the point. ANd it starts so early--the ones who seem to be valedictorians at the boys' school are not the brightest, they're the hardest workers and they don't do much else. Neither of the two Merit winners at school are in the top ten of the class, which I thought was interesting.
