my fantasy life

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.

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.

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! :-)

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!

I am in school too. I also creak in the mornings and just celebrated my son's 8th birthday. Don't feel bad.

I am also thinking about social work but am not quite sure yet.

I look forward to reading your blog more!
