Now,..."so I can learn to write properly"<br /><br />Now, that's simply not true: to the extent that my limited abilities give me any ability to judge, your command of the written word is excellent; and your voice is wonderful.<br /><br />"so I can get a good job"<br /><br />Alas, you are probably right about this. Only in the world of computer programming is merit enough to get by; it seems every other type of job requires one degree or another.<br /><br />"I mainly want to go because I love school."<br /><br />This, of course, is the best reason to go back. Your sentiment aligns well with my view of school: what one gets out of school is no more or less than what one puts into it. The best students don't need a formal school environment to learn, though they may well enjoy being in it.<br /><br />Anyway, good luck!fjdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17409854.post-48390850389915288522010-01-06T22:18:07.038-05:002010-01-06T22:18:07.038-05:00I could've written this post myself.

BONUS: it would be totally awesome for your own girls to see you head back and grow yourself. DO IT! TCBIM will/ should be happy for your desire to self-improve and it might even inspire him to make some changes of his own. <br /><br />DO IT!<br /><br />p.s. i will kick your ass if you visit powells before i move home. i'd LOVVVVE to be your powells tour guide- it's my favorite place to waste away a rainy saturday and (before the great relocation of '09) it was our favorite family outing.rae annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10008467198468612103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17409854.post-63381986519842670522010-01-01T15:13:29.856-05:002010-01-01T15:13:29.856-05:00I'm glad you know what you have to do for your...I'm glad you know what you have to do for yourself.

I do think it's possible to support each other during those changes - but sometimes we resist change in our partner because it's scary. Ultimately, I think you have to do what you have to do. I wish you all kinds of luck and strength.<br /><br />And Happy New Year!Zazzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11801135411913940539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17409854.post-58595716128490055702009-12-31T23:06:08.468-05:002009-12-31T23:06:08.468-05:00I'm sorry?

The thing is that the common ground is still there if I bother to look for it. Anything that you need to do, is something that your family needs, too. You don't need him to fully get it, just so long as he supports it.<br />But watch out for those college kids and their beer.Rebecca @ Playground Confidentialhttp://playgroundconfidential.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17409854.post-49871660506434650122009-12-31T21:43:42.275-05:002009-12-31T21:43:42.275-05:00Oh exciting!

And a healthy partner wants his wife to take her next step. It's understandable that it could be stressful and be a difficult transition and that he might even be scared by that enough to hesitate, but that's not a good enough reason not to do it, IMO. If it's the right thing for you to do, he *can* handle it, whether he believes that about himself or not.Heidihttp://www.slightlycosmopolitan.comnoreply@blogger.com
