School...stay in school........

And once again crunch time is upon us. If you refer back to a blog entry posted in the last week of Nov. or early Dec. one might find thoughts that are similar to these. It is always at this point in time in the semester that one seems to frequently question is it worth it? All the stress, the lack of sleep,the walking on eggshells so as to not disturb the students who are even more on edge than yourself. Is it worth it. is it worth this one thin piece of paper that says you've been to hell and back, simply because it states degree on it.
Right now, from my side of the earth the answer to that question is, "no," not only that but it's a "hell no." However sometimes in a more cognitive state I am able to answer that question more rationally with an affirmative, "yes!" GOong to school is one of the greatest blessings one can ever receive, well that and the ability to always be a size 8......but seriously. In retrospect there is an extremely small amount of people on this earth that can say that they have received a college education, let alone been able to attend school at the master's level. I think that if we have the opportunity to go to school we should take it, we should always take it. This is not to say that those who choose not to are making the wrong decisions. What I am saying is that learning is a lifelong process.....it is somethign that we should absolutely never stop doing. NOt only that, but it's something to enjoy. There is a big big world out there, one full of amazing people places and things (also known as nouns), I think that only by exposing ourselves to those things, as scary as they might be, will we ever truly understand how great God is. It's pretty amazing if you think about it. We are part of something huge, something bigger then ourselves and our tiny little corner of the world. how sad would it be to stay in that corner your entire life and never be exposed to the beatuy going on around you. well now I'm just rambling. and have gotten way off track......school, stay in school....(sigh) I think i just had a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders, it's amazing what a new perspective can do. School is a blessing, I bet if Jesus was around today, well, in person, he'd have like 15 degrees, although, would it be considered cheating when he took test....I mean he has direct connection with God and if God knows everything, technically....that's cheating. maybe I shouldn't concern myself with such nonsense and get back to my term paper....that's a good idea.
