Well, as some people may know, I'm a student again. And this time it's only partially to avoid reality. If escaping into academics was all I wanted, I'd be in grad school for the next 10 yrs. instead of just the next year at the local community college.
So, I'm in my first semester at Red Rocks Community College here in Denver. It's a strange feeling to be back in school after 9 yrs. or so, and especially at a community college when I altready have a Bachelor's. I always that community college was where people ended up who weren't "smart enough" for "real college". Of course for me, my main motivation at the time was running away and escaping as far from my previous life as possible. I basically just hit the big RESET button on my life.
And yet it's strange to be doing the same thing again. I started life over when I left for college, I had another fresh start when I moved West, and now I'm starting out again in community college. Things seem to have a way of coming full circle, especially since I'm in a similar program now compared to the one at SMS (MO State, my original alma mater). Except this time I'm actually here to learn something and become marketable again. What started out as a "random crap shoot" when I first had the crazy idea of going back, is now a reality. I'm going back into the IT world. For better of for worse.
Life comes around full circle.

I think you're right in that life always has a way of coming full circle - I've been feeling that way as I've been reconnecting with faces from the past.
ReplyDeleteAnd it sounds like you're on a good track - I'm a non-technical person working for a tech company in human services, and there are always good jobs to be had for IT folks. :)
