Grad School and Mommy dear.....

wynddancerI did study to be biologist (B.S. in biology, minor in chemistry). Now, I'm changing career fields. Maybe. I'm graduating in Dec with 2 master degrees (health and library science) and now all I can think is that I made a mistake in selecting those fields........I hope I'm just burned out. To be honest though, I've enjoyed designed the flyers, PP presentations, posters, etc., more than I've enjoyed my classes, which are kind of interesting but also bleh to me. I'm not that talented in drawing, etc., but maybe it's time I explored more my "artistic" side. I liked figuring out the design elements of the flyers, etc. Hmm.
Mom's bitching at me because I'm trying to get ahead a bit. I've passed the portfolio requirement. Yay! I've completed the work part of my practicum on Thursday. Now, all I need to do is write a paper on it and turn that in, which I'm planning (yeah, right-I'm such a procrastinator) on doing next week. I feel like I've already dropped/completed one class by passing the portfolio, which has freed me up time-wise. After I finish this paper and turn it in, it'll be like dropping/completing a class and which will leave me with one class to focus on. Yeah, having some time to do stuff in so that I'm not going out of my mind and reducing my stress level is something to get bitchy about, Mommy dear, especially when I'll be using that free time to fill in my Linked In profile, updating my resume, looking for a job for when I graduate, possibly volunteering at the hospital or library (thinking about it--it'll help me gain "experience"), creating my eportfolio (resume, work samples, etc.), and designing a personal webpage with my eportfolio and resume, etc. Bitch.
My game plan for today is to read 3 chapters, take a 5 minute 1 question quiz, and make my required discussion board posting by 11:50 pm (yeah, right, unless I get started already). By doing these things, I'll be ahead (taking the quiz and reading next week's chapter today) in that class. That'll free me up next week to work on my practicum paper and to look at the student blogs (I'm required to look at them and tell them where they are going wrong on it so that they can correct their errors and get an A on the blog. It's bullshit. These people are supposed to be graduate students and I have to hold their hand on this?! Pisses me off.).
Mom's all you're going to take it easy next week, huh? Maybe. I'm still writing a paper that I dont' want to write and looking at blogs that I don't want to look at. So, do me a favor and fuck off, will you? I'm sick of your shit about, well, everything. Bitch. Mom gets a 3 day weekend every goddamn week--she only works 4 days a week and has done that for years. She gets pissy when I get time "off" or get to take it "easy". It's part of why I've stopped talking to her about things. I'm in my 30s, single, own my own house, no kids, so please piss off, Mom. I don't want to hear about how you dislike such and such city and how I don't want to work there--the people are rude in that thar city! I don't care. Please for once and for all get it through your head that I AM NOT YOU. I DON'T WANT TO BE YOU. I love you, Mom, but I really don't LIKE YOU. I definitely still don't trust you after those stunts you pulled with me when I was in high school.
