Second day of week two and its looking like its getting serious here at the TC SPA program. I'm definitely in the program but it feels like I don't really belong. Maybe because there ar e bunch of real serious grown-ass people in here. They aren't that much older than me, but I doubt that there is anyone who is really younger than me in here. Most people in here are getting ready for a full on career change, and most people are lot more focused, organized, and anal in their regular lives. There is of course a pocket of people who are probably out getting shit faced on a regular basis but I'm not trying to hang out with them. (I haven't been shit faced in damn near a year). So the writing on the wall here is that this program will be a big part of the "being like a grown man" phase of my life. As much as I want to get serious and be someone's principal I feel like I could benefit from having a year or two of not being serious. Perhaps taking some time to travel the world like this guy. Perhaps going back and getting a phd or two (two bachelors...two masters...seem's like the next step). Or trying to get paid on some business school, law school, med school, Inv. Bank status. All of these seem like imaginative rants that my mind is taking before realizing the obvious. The best thing for me to do is to get my shit together and become a successful principal or AP as soon as possible, which will probably be before I'm thirty. Kind of scary, but seems like the writing on the wall.
