If there’s one thing that is always I have on “to do list” that never gets done would be cleaning / straightening the house. That’s not to say that I don’t clean my house or that I love in. Rather , straightening out the house is a constant “work in progress”. Like fashion, cleaning the house never feels as if it’s “done”. Other things just end up taking priority.

This is assuming, of course, that I understood the prompt correctly. To me, people have their every day “to do list“ of things that they need to accomplish in a given day. But then, there’s also the idea of writing out long-term goals, such as I’ve done on my blueprint for 2024. Note to self: I’ll probably need to evaluate where I’m at with said blueprint by the end of March.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the blueprint, over the last few days and particular. Specifically, I’m thinking about going back to school. My problem is, I still can’t decide if I want to do grad school for another English degree, or I want to try law school.

The idea of going into family law and working for me going through divorce is something that has appealed to me ever since my own divorce. For a long time, I thought that my divorce would be “my Batman moment” – an event that forever alters the trajectory of my life (like the death of Bruce Wayne’s parents). I’ll go on to those Facebook groups for men and intuitive advice or encourage where I can. Sometimes I’ll read someone’s story and just shut down. It gets to new to much for me; maybe too personal.

On the other hand I love teaching. Since I started, I haven’t been able to imagine doing anything else. No matter how hard some of the kids can be, no matter how bad of a situation they may come from, I know I can handle it. I’ve realized for a long time the teaching really is the thing that gets me out of bed every every every morning. I don’t know if I could say the same about going into law

I’m just not sure how important law school is to me. The decision is something I’m going to really try to focus on this month. Maybe the fact that I haven’t seen any action on going to law school is just me already having made that decision.
