Ever
get to the point where you just don't care about things anymore? Where you
throw your hands into the air, drop a few F-bombs, and make a conscious
decision to walk away? I've been at that point since July 2014 in relation
to what my education is for...
I honestly only kept working on my degree because I was almost there and it’s simply stupid to throw it away after going this far. I resigned myself to being educated in a field that I loathed, where the majority of people I encountered made me pine away for days of… what? Retail management in the holiday season? Public flogging? I don’t think that is even painful enough to compare. Amazingly, after all that time, something has finally happened to curb my fury, to assuage my disappointment in "the field".

I
don’t want to give names or anything… but I can say it happened in Arizona
because of Arizona people and British
Columbia/Alberta people. I met person
after person who made me realize that my world isn’t the same everywhere… that
maybe I’m just the anti-biologist who does love the LE elements more? It was rejuvenating… refreshing… remarkable. If I could think of another “re” compliment,
I would, trust me! I don't want to start popping out everyone's name, but SW, KVD, DD, RO, JK, JJ, KO, TP, JC.... yah, my perception has been altered and my world enlightened!
Now
I just have to figure out how to incorporate that knowledge into my real
world. Better baffled than beaten, I
suppose.
