Weird State of Mind
Have you ever just wondered what your life would be like if you had a completely different job? Everyday this week I have thought to myself, I wonder what it would be like to do______. Not that I don't enjoy my job or anything, it's just that it has just been a little overwhelming this week. I met with my thesis chair this week and discussed the process for my thesis and so now that has started. We are changing a few things at the Housing Authority and so that has taken some adjusting. First grade is so exhausting. I have a state conference to prepare for and the list just goes on and on. I do too much and sometimes I just feel like my life would be so easy if I was doing something else. For instance, being a florist sounds so appealing to me right now. I would love to be able to arrive at work, do my job, leave, and not have to think about or do anything related to it until the next day. I definitely chose the wrong job for that dream. But I am happy and even though I am exhausted, it could be worse. I could be miserable and exhausted. I guess I am just in a weird state of mind right now.

I know exactly how you feel. I never thought about other careers until I experienced the grueling pace of a PhD and all of the sudden I started thinking that I would really love to be a family therapist (a job I had never even considered as an undergrad but that I now realize was my second calling). I know that I'm doing the right thing, but every now and again I wish my office was less cubicle and more couch-oriented:) Hang in there!
