Every time I try to spell this dang word, my fingers type "absense" first...and now I am only encouraging them!
I thought about it, and how often when given two choices, does one choose the scarier, more difficult one? So maybe that means more excitement, or more activity, or more...something than the easy route.
This is how I make decisions, I justify them to myself. There's never a black and white to me, but it's not gray either; everything's in color. What the heck color is THE color? I'm running away with my bad metaphor again...My point was, there's no definitive right choice, it seems; there's just two. Sometimes more. One gives one set of results, and the other, a different set. So I make choices by justifying the one I'm leaning towards.
This time, I decided to do it differently. Justify the one I'm straying from.
When I was in Denver at the conference, someone talked about how there's always an attractive alternative that will appear much easier than your potentially better path. They said to be aware of that, try and notice it.
School was that. Just go, be stressed the whole semester, save less money, take out more loans, stay in Minneapolis, don't have to commute...sounded pretty good to me. So I said no. It definitely took me a while, but here I am.
Bloomington. Commuting. Rent-free. Free food. Mom. Dog. AC. Driving. 5AM. Traffic. Saving. NO SCHOOL!
