Why Did I Think This Was A Good Idea????

Here I could be making nice money, going to work 5 days a week, and getting off at 5 pm, doing interesting things, and have my weekends free. Instead, I opted to go to grad school for the Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering. I have these last two classes and a research/thesis to do and then I'm out and making even better money, and probably doing even more interesting things.

But right now, I'm "working" from about 8 am to 10 pm, when I'm not at my work and working 11 hour days. And not including the HW. And I've spent the last 2 hours asking myself "Why did I think this was a good idea?" as I try to plow through a VERY boring chapter in my Fluid mechanics class. After having to deal with the class I'm the teaching assistant for. The material isn't boring (or it SHOULDN'T be, though this is not my best subject) just the text book.

Any one else had a similar situation? Where you just have to stop and ask yourself, "Why did I ever think this would be a good idea?"

Later!
Amanda.

PS: I'll probably stop asking why I thought it was a good idea just as soon as I get this blasted chapter read, which as its over 40 pages long and its buddy which I have to read NEXT which is 35 or so pages).

Yep, it goes from "Why did I think this was a good idea?" to
"Hey, seemed like a good idea when I was younger & didn't know any better" to
"I had an idea? Who am I?"

It always becomes "I made it this far. Let's keep going until supper. " Then you reach your goal. Turn around twice. Click your heels three times, and focus on setting a new objective. Sometimes the issue isn't "why did I choose to do this?" but, "why can't I have a few days, or hours, or at least minutes to just be. "

One more reason to keep fish. When you're sitting in front of your cichlid tank people think you're busy.......
