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

It's me again! Your friendly neighborhood blogger. Since I have made a promise to myself to be more active and the like, I figured I'd take this opportunity to post about a recent impromptu trip to Amsterdam. A couple of years ago, we had an intern at work. We became friends, flash forward and life has brought us to the same side of the pond again albeit her in the Netherlands and me in the UK. Nonetheless we took the opportunity to travel together and explore. What a beautiful city! We met several new friends and walked and ate and drank our way from one canal to another. Highlights include: The Heinekein Brewery Eating mini pancakes Eating waffles Street art all around the city Canal boat cruise The Sex Museum Walking the Red Light District Going to a coffee shop Dancing the night away at several bars/clubs Though it was the most exhausting 48hrs I've had in a long time, every moment was worth it! I look forward to exploring Ams...

Sometimes I lay in bed thinking about the day and wonder..."did the reality meet the expectation?" It's a double edged sword approach to life. One side is great! You exceeded the expectations you set for yourself. The other side: Well crap, why are you setting expectations and possibly setting yourself up for failure and/or disappointment. Today fell to the crap side. Today I had high hopes but then by the end (aka bedtime) I found myself faced with the reality of the day. If I'm being honest the day sucked.  In several months I won't remember why it sucked nor possibly even care but in this moment, it sucked. New question/approach....if you can't remember why the day didn't meet your expectations does that day matter? Until next (hopefully more cheerful post) post, later
