Oh well, at least the dishes got done and the floors got vacuumed. He is back to normal as far as behavior goes this evening, but complaining of a sore throat and aching all over. Both my and Hubby’s allergies are going nutso, and there is a bug going around. I’m not sure if he is a candidate for one of these, or if something else is going on. I’m going to send him to bed early tonight and see how things go in the morning. Until then, I’ve dosed him liberally with Benadryl and sent him to the shower. Maybe the hot water will ease some of his aches. Hmm, I suppose I should quickly go turn off the dishwasher and washing machine…
I’ve gotten one of my computer assignments done, and will work on the rest after I’m done with my sanity break. I’ve also got a few hours of English assignments to work on and several hours of History assignments. Those will have to wait until tomorrow or the weekend!
I had a conversation with someone at school yesterday that I’ve been thinking about almost constantly last night and today. We were discussing what our educational plans were and hopeful career paths after school. We then started talking about what we were going after versus what we love as far as subjects go. I admitted that my current path is something I enjoy, but not truly something I’m passionate about and really LOVE doing. I pointed out that I enjoy doing the things this educational path will lead to, but it was definitely not something that I would associate the aura of passion to. When she asked me why I wasn’t pursuing that which I am passionate about, my response was that I didn’t know if or what job and career possibilities would be available with that path, versus the path I’m currently taking. There are so many degrees out there that are virtually useless in anything but an extremely narrow field of work.
She did make some valid points. Enough so that I’m going to do a bit more research to determine if there is any feasibility of that path manifesting viable options for me to consider. Then I need to weigh my options of going with a degree that offers known possibilities for a job, versus a degree with unknown possibilities.
Decisions, decisions. I need some chocolate to help me think.
