Big Decisions

After prayer and consideration, I decided not to go back to school this semester. Bummer.

I made the decision based on the fact that I refuse to incure debt for another Bachelor's degree. If it was my first degree, I would be more inclined to take out a loan. But now I have a mortgage and it took me a while to get out of debt...so why would I go there again?

I know, however, that I will miss the following things:

• BLT bagels in the Cafe
• Hours upon hours in the photo lab printing and getting giddy due to a lack of sleep
• Creative people EVERYWHERE
• Aspiring to be a better photographer because of my classmates (thanks Ellie, Ben & Aprill)
• Guy poking in the classroom at any moment
• Big TER - Terry Thacker...the best PROF EVER
• Knowing that I'm studying something I love

I have to keep reminding myself that I will go back at some point, hopefully in the spring, just without a mound of debt on my shoulders...
