there are so many loose ends in my life, so many things i wish i had gotten to before now. i started yet another semester of college yesterday. how is it that these kids just keep getting younger and younger? i do not feel old until i look at them, or i get out of bed with everything creaking. this is the last semester that i will be taking actual classes, and in May i will graduate with 2 degrees. then it will be off to graduate school, because i want to make a little bit of money as a social worker. i may be the weird old lady in class these days, but i am there and i am almost finished with me biggest loose end. this to me matters more than dealing with the stares and annoying little kids who have no idea how easy it is to get off track.
tying up this big loose end got me to thinking about all my other fantasy lives.
I would have this body
Have this house and trees
This front porch with rockers and swings
With this view of the Oregon Coast
This as my back yard
Then I would use my teleporter to go to my other home
My own private island
In this house
it is always nice to get outside of myself and dream. sometimes you spend so much time chasing the attainable dreams, you forget you are allowed to have the big ones.

I SO want that porch. And a cold glass of ice tea. (ICLW)
Aren't fantasylands wonderful?
It's always good to have a dream -and to dream big. My grandma always told me to dare to dream the biggest dream I could imagine and then work toward it. I may not get THAT dream but think of all the things I would accomplish in the attempt.
make money as a social worker? when you figure that one out, please let me in on it. ;)
Coming over from ICLW...
My DSO starts grad school on Monday. My mom asked me tonight if he felt like the old one in the class. Um, he's 25! LOL
You'll do great. Keep it up! :-)
I agree dream big! iclw
Ooooh... I want to live your dream life too!
and good for you for finishing up school. It is one of my regrets that I never got my degree.
Oooooh. Can I come visit your dream?
I'm 31 and just finished grad school...but before that I had to take some undergrad courses. Even at 28 I was astonished at how old I felt. Especially when 19 year olds were asking to 'copy my homework' or 'cheat off my test'...and I was like, hello, I'm almost 30, peer pressure doesn't apply anymore so you can fail on your own!
