Hey, guess what family?
I've decided at the ripe old age of 47 years, 7 months, 4 weeks, and 1 day, that I'm going to go to Capella University to get my Masters Degree in psychology.
Honestly their enthusiasm wasn't exactly what I had hoped for, with that said this project will take 6 or 7 years so they will have plenty of time to get used to the idea.
Why? You may be asking would I decide that I want to do this.
That answer is simple and it's complex. The simple reason is that people fascinate me, and I've seen with my own eyes just how shitty life can be, and with that perspective I think I will be better able to empathize, and actually help people.
The complex reason is that my gut tells me this is what I need to do, and this is the time to it.
Honestly I'm a little disappointed that the family isn't a little more excited about this venture. I've always made a point to be supportive of their choices even when I didn't really understand or like them.
On the other hand no one is really pissed off about it, and they are making an effort to be nice even if they aren't supportive.
I've decided to blog about this so I can look back and track my progress.
I don't know if I will share the blog or promote it, it's just more of an online diary for now.
