“In order to write about life first you must live it.”- Ernest Hemingway
I love going to school. L-O-V-E it.
My oldest daughter is graduating in ten days from one of those super-speedy high-school-and-associates-degree programs, where homework consumes every waking moment of your life - both hers and to a large degree, mine as well.
So it's such a relief to finally get beyond that, and look to my own education again.
I was clicking through the online list of majors at the school I work at, wondering what in the world to take, and suddenly it clicked.
But I can't tell you the specific major. Not yet.
Whenever I write a story, I never talk about what I'm writing about until it exists on paper, or in some computer file somewhere. If I do, it releases all my creative power, and then the story never gets written.
I'm afraid the same thing will happen here with school. So I won't say what my major is, not yet.
But it's good! I'm excited! Been trying to figure this one out for a long time, and I think I've finally nailed the perfect one.
Yes, it is science-related, which is also going to feed my stories. Super excited about that as well.
It's also very heavy on the math side, so back to Khan Academy I go. If I can finish those math classes before the end of the summer, I'll be in a really good spot to get started.
Another day, another page...
