I think Jessie Spano from Saved by the Bell said it right. “No time! There's never any time! I don’t have time to study. I’ll never get into Stanford.  I’ll let everyone down.  I’m so confused."

Out of everything she said I can relate most to letting everyone down.  Mostly my husband and son.  I have a 9 to 5 job then a part time job teaching dance to children and zumba to adults.  The part time jobs are what I love to do. The 9 to 5 is to pay the bills.  I put a lot of pressure on myself because I didn’t get a bachelors degree right out of high school to then have a career.  My husband is always stressed with money and I always apologize that I don’t make more of it.  So instead I load up on part time jobs and then lose the extra time to spend with my son.   My son is only 20 months old so I would rather do it now then when he is 4 or 5 and asking why I’m not home. 

Working 2 jobs though has some great opportunity for some stories.  Like the old man who sits behind me just farted in his cube and didn’t know he did it.   

Good luck on this semester everyone!

  1. Hi Megan,

    Glad to see your site is up and working. I look forward to reading your blog articles as the term progresses.

    Try living each moment in that moment. Don't appologize for the choices you make - revel in them, or - choose again. And most importantly, don't forget to smile, laugh, and dance!!

    Best,
    Tim Foley

  2. I can relate to your post! I worked full time when my son was that age and at times it was very grueling. But you have a point about doing it now before he gets older. By then you will have your degree and different opportunities. OH, and sorry about your office mate: ew.
