I actually am sooooo all over the place that I use school for the discipline. When people ask if the MFA in writing was necessary, I say, “For me YES, because I needed the threat of a deadline, someone to hold me accountable, because I don’t listen to my own deadlines otherwise.”

And so it will be with the other degrees- I need that structure and due dates and serious repercussions (that horrifying failing grade that nerds like me hate) to keep my ass in motion.

I gotta work on my self-discipline.

*adds that to To Do list*

I will likely not be going back to school, in this day and age, I’ve learned how to learn and I really don’t need school to teach me what I want to know – unless of course I decide to do something the state says I need to be certified to do. Then I will definitely go back.

Going to school just for a career (especially if the career is only about money) is a bad idea anyway

Still, I won’t stop til I have at least 2 PhD’s; the degrees will look real pretty hung up in my cardboard box
