So I have been back to school now for almost two years and truthfully the time has seemed to have flown by. I decided to go back to get a degree in paralegal studies. Figured was doing the work in the legal field may be a good idea to get a degree so that I can get a better paying job doing relatively the same thing. Well I am set to graduate on January 30th, truth be told we will not be going to the ceremony I am not upset about this for two reasons. One I start back for my bachelors on February 3rd and two I just do not have the time for it right now.
Going back to school was a hard decision for me, could I find the time to balance work full time, kids full time and school full time. Truth be told I do not know how I manage it most days. I will not say that it has been very easy the whole time because well that would be lying. We have had our ups and downs, mostly ups. I have had a terrific support team backing me the whole way. David and I have had issues in trying to find a balance between class and a life but I think after my math class we have finally found a time frame that actually works for us. Honestly I do not feel like I get a minute to myself but the reward will be in my degree.
Another decision I have to make once I have completed my bachelor's is whether or not I want to look into law school. The thought of another four years is kind of scary and at this rate I will completely done with school by the time my kids are starting school. I am interested in law and wonder if I want to go all the way so to speak. I know that I have experience going before the judge right now with the position I am in. And the first few times were scary but I feel that I have gotten the hang of it and really I never have to argue my cases. It helps when the people you are suing just doesn't show up. Now I have to think if I want to go through the schooling, get to the bar and than actually practice law. I know some of you out there may be saying hell yes but again I feel like I am taking enough time from my kids do I want to take more. I don't know something to think about while I am plugging through the next two years of classes.
Thankfully the school I go to is an online school and not surprisingly the also have a law school on line so something else to think over. Who knows at this point I think I am going to take it one class at a time.
