Grad School Blues

Okay...so I'm nearly done with my Master's of Science in Counseling. I'll graduate in Spring 2011. There are so few classes left to take. The problem is, I've become a lazy bum since Spring 2009 classes ended.

My professor for Psychometrics (really fancy psychological statistics class) has lost his marbles and assigned us to read 5 chapters (looong chapters) every night for three weeks. It's completely worth it...this is one more required class under my belt...but I don't want to read!

I want to dance like a goober with my husband in the living room, the only musical accompaniment being my singing

I want to go on long walks with our dogs and not have to worry about what time we get back

I want to stay up late with my daughter and watch funny movies while eating popcorn

I actually want to exercise!

I want to play tennnis

I want to write more letters

I want to play video games again

I want to sit on the couch doing nothing and have the great feeling of knowing there is nothing to do and no deadlines to do the nothing in

I want to be free of school and not have to go back today at noon, even though I love the two hour break from work

I want to live

But even though I want all these things, I also want to finish my Master's, get a better job, go on for my Doctorate (oh yay, more school! :| ), and accomplish this goal which I'm half-way through already. So I'll trudge through these muddy, constricting waters and come out a better person. Pray for me and wish me luck!
