Things are going well. I’m taking 11 U Biology and 11 U English. Enjoying both, and scoring high marks in both. Exciting times. :) Busy times, though. Being an introvert means I’m having to spent ample time recovering from being around people all day.  Coming home to three teen age boys is a special treat of the highest order.  There aren’t enough hours in a day to get my need for solitude met, so I’m feeling depleted, but I know this will be worth it in the end.

I don’t know how long it will take me before I’m ready to apply to university. My best guess is a year and a half, maybe two years.  Which means I’m looking at six years or so before I have a BA. And then another two for an MA, MSW or MFA, depending on the direction I actually settle on. 

That’s a long time.  Eight years. My gods. I’ll be 48 by the time I’m ready to enter the workforce. 

Then again, if I don’t do this, I’ll turn 48 in eight years anyway, and I won’t be any closer to doing the things I actually want to do.

Not a lot happening, besides school. I’m knitting, reading the novel I’ve been assigned for Independent Study Unit in English, trying to track down a couple of movies I need for the same, and generally enjoying the thought of a week off. Spring Break! Woo!

I’ll probably be doing some pysanky this coming week in preparation for Ostara, and a bit of spring cleaning, too.  Nothing amazing planned for the break except lots of time alone, which I desperately need.

I’m hoping to take a camera jaunt tomorrow to Elora Gorge, which means there will be pictures!
