My boyfriend told me once that a teacher suggested for him to take fifteen minutes out of each day to learn something new. It could be about anything at all. Ever since he passed that knowledge on to me I've actually been attempting to take time to school myself on new things. Often it's my boyfriend teaching me something - whether it be about an animal I had never heard of (bot-flys are disgusting), the stars in the sky (so relaxing and stars have really cool names), the benefits of not swearing (I'm trying!), or just simply how to not worry about things (I'm working on this one as well). From time to time I think about all the time that's passed since I've dropped out of art school and how I could've been completely finished with school by now. Although learning about bot-flys and how not to swear is helpful, I think I'm finally ready to learn something new every week that will give me a piece of paper saying I did so. I started college when I was only 17 years old. Thinking back on it now I'm so happy that I didn't go through with the degree I was pursuing. I had no idea what I wanted to be when I grew up, where I was going to get a job, where I was going to live, the people I would meet on the way - nothing. I now realize that I'm fully interested in children, young children, and would like to begin a degree in Early Childhood Education. I already have about 7 years experience under my belt so I'm hoping that the school part won't be too horribly hard for me. I'm also really still interested in art (learning through art) and hope to one day collab children and art together to find the perfect career for me. I think meeting my boyfriend and experiencing his eagerness to learn about anything he comes across has really rubbed off on me. It's helped me realize that I'm finally ready for this.

So here's to going back to school and getting my education on, yipee. I promise that had a little bit of enthusiasm in it haha.
