A Day in the Life of a Master(s) of Education

So I have finally gotten to the heart of my recent funk. I've been feeling pretty aimless and because of that I haven't been enthused to much of anything. With a life dominated by work (even if it was to meet financial goals and is very enjoyable) and not much else, I had not decompressed in a while. This coupled with the fact that I don't really have a hobby led to a life that was repeative and mediocre. When I took a moment to really step back and analyze everything and everyone in my life, I came to see that I am VERY goal oriented and to date I'd accomplished most of the major goals I'd set out for myself. That being said, I needed a new goal for that really was the only way I would find steady happiness again. I think I have found it. I'm going to finally go to and complete grad school. For real this time. I've figured out what I want to do in grad school now the task at hand is to figue out where. I'm not ruling out any possibilities. I would love ...

I'm having an insane case of the blues right now. Which I know is ridiculous because there are so many joyful things in my life. I just got back from my very first solo vacation to Paris of all places and though I had a fantastic time worth repeating I am having a hard time dealing with an overwhelming feeling of sadness. I work hard to maintain a state of joy but for some reason everything I would normally do to cheer myself up from a funk isn't working. More and more I just want to find a dark hole and bury myself in there never to resurface. On the other I look at the things I have accomplished and I smile and feel pride. I am being split in two and I can't deal.  Hopefully I'll look back on this roller-coaster time and reflect positively. In the meantime here are a few photos from my trip that will make me smile.
