I know this should happen with everyone... but when I say "life", I really mean my "core self". When I was in school to be a teacher (yes, I have the degree and everything), I loved it. I loved what I was learning, but it never applied to "me". It applied to kids, and how I could help them learn. And it applied in the future. But what I learn on a daily basis, affects me directly, and now.
I loved teaching, don't get me wrong... but I would have loved it a whole lot more without the politics that go with it. But that's a topic for another day. With my new course of study, I will be teaching, as well as living what I learn. That makes for a much more complete "me".
I have a blog about My Journey Through School. I've only just really started it within the past couple of days. But I find that when I post a blog, I have a hard time deciding whether to post it here, or on the other blog. Both affect me on a daily basis. What I learn at school contributes to me discovering myself. Which comes first, the chicken or the egg? Eventually, I guess I'll cut one of these blogs out, once the journeys become so intertwined that I can't distinguish one from the other. By the way, I think that is pretty cool. You know, that the two will become one. How many people can say that about their job/school? And then how many of THOSE people actually enjoy the fact that they take work/school home with them? I think I'm lucky that the two can coexist happily in my life. It just makes me want to work at it even more.
So, for now, I guess I will try to limit my school blog to my trials and tribulations of getting my schoolwork done, what the assignments are, and what I'm learning. Maybe the practical applications of those lessons will be talked about here? All I know is that there will be several links created connecting the two.

I think it's great when things start as one thing and transform into something you never expected. If your school blogs brings your thoughts over to this blog... you do realize what that means right?? It means, it's going from just being "School" to a practical application into YOUR LIFE. I think that's wonderful wonderful wonderful! Nonetheless, whereever you write, I am there.
ReplyDeleteLike I said, anything I can read that you write makes me feel not so far away. :*o(
oh.... and it's kinda like how my weightloss blog... became just a regular blog... and then all of a sudden my feelings and thoughts via the form of poetry just out of no where appeared (which i never knew i even could write). life is full of surprises
