I recently took three weeks off work to complete two more units towards my double masters. For two weeks, the classes were from about 8am till 12:30pm. This meant that I could wake up, go to class, head home for lunch and have a lie in the warm spring sun.
Three weeks of that certainly relaxed me. The life of a student is never really that hard. You use your brain for 50% of the time, and the other 60% is relaxation. I was starting to enjoy it too much!
Having such a good time made me a bit sad however, as I wasn't really looking forward to going back to work. After many a long discussion with mum and dad and Robin, I decided that I would resign from work and continue my studies in 2010 alongside some part time work.
It's a bit of a scary situation with a mortgage on the side, but I need the break after 5+ years of solid work with only the occasional holiday. The reason I started studying in the first place (June 2009) was that I was starting to idle at work anyway.
It was a tough call, but I'm on the home stretch now, with less than two weeks left in the office and still no replacement or assistant to do a handover for.
This week is also important as exam results for Contract Law 601 and Socioeconomic Impacts 601 are due out at 5pm today. I'm thinking I got a minimum 70% for each of them, but I would like to keep my grade point average over the 75 mark. Here's hoping!
