Looking for what's next...

I am getting that 'antsy' feel in my gut. That one that tells me a change is in the air for me, and I'm not quite sure what it is going to be. See, I'm kinda of a crisis, big project kind of gal and everything is going along well, only needing little tweaks here and there to keep it on course. Which is kind of leaving me a little rudderless. No big projects, nothing to really stress and obsess over. Seriously, what fun is that?

I started thinking about some new projects I could take on. I always talk about how my dream is to be a professional college student. Really...take all those anthropology, sociology, history, physical science, environmental science and language classes I just couldn't fit into my four-year degree. Tonight I found myself cruising through the websites of our local universities to see what they had in the continuing ed/distance programs. Lots and lots of classes, and nothing that reached out and said - "Take me." And, at $400/class it would have to do this pretty loudly.

Since I homeschool, it isn't too far out for me to say, "I'll just homeschool myself." Think of what an impression that will make on the children. So, now I am left trying to decide what I want to learn. Do I want something schooly and theoretical, or a practical art. Nothing is crying out at me right now.

I guess I'll just have to wait to see what comes.

Peace,

Amy

A university class would be fun! (The $400, not so much.) I've been thinking recently that I need to start studying Latin ahead of Travis. Greek took, I suppose. But there are so many other things I'd Rather do!
I think your taking a class would be a wonderful example for the kids!

A family of six living and learning. You might catch us outside in the mud or working on crafts. We always seem to be on the go, come on and join us.
