“You’ve been doing homework almost every night, as long as I’ve known you!”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That’s what mom said to me about a week ago! \u00a0Counting kindergarten, I’ve been in school for 19 years! \u00a0And I’m tired of it! \u00a0Not necessarily the learning, but the homework, the 10 – 20 page papers on anything & everything not related to my major, the presentations with group members you’re still trying to figure out how they got into higher education, the 400 question tests … that had no correct answers for many questions, and the assignments that took 8+ hours to complete. \u00a0Now that’s what I won’t miss!<\/p>\n

Today is the last night of Graduate School. \u00a0Last evening was my last final and tonight I’ll be making 2 presentations on IT Project Management mock projects w\/ 4 other (good) group members to wrap up my Bobby Mo educational experience. \u00a0So, after all is said and done, I’ll have 6 years in here at Bobby Mo (RMU) with an Undergraduate BS in Information Systems Management, w\/ a concentration in Network Administration<\/a> & a Minor in International Studies<\/a>, as well as my 2 new Graduate degrees: an MS in Information Security and Assurance<\/a> & an MS in Internet Information Systems<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"homework-virus\"So, the biggest question I have is What To Do Now? \u00a0I’ve never known a vast majority of free time. \u00a0In the Summers, I tried to just relax a bit and prepare for the upcoming terms. \u00a0Now, it’s nothing for a long long time (I’ve considered going back for an MBA one day … in a long long time though!).<\/p>\n

My college years and graduate years really molded me a bit though. \u00a0Many of the hobbies or interests have stemmed from something during those\/these times. \u00a0 Because of this, I’d like to pursue some of these interests. \u00a0By this I mean that I would like to learn more about the topics. \u00a0You see, I like to learn, I wrote that a few paragraphs above. \u00a0I like to learn a lot … I like to be well rounded, to know a good bit about an array of topics. \u00a0Yes, computers & information systems is my career and so far, my future career path, but I need to get away from it at times as well.<\/p>\n

So here’s what I’ve been thinking …<\/p>\n

I want to read. \u00a0Read? \u00a0I’ve never been a “reader” (even some of the “mandatory” stuff from class\u00a0syllabi!). \u00a0There’s a few books that I already know that I would like to get into soon:<\/p>\n
