So I've been thinking about going back to school (again). I have a few choices, I can go to the local tech school, I can go to one of the other tech schools not too far away, or I can try to talk my boyfriend into moving to Athens, three hours away and I can go to University of Georgia.

Here's the catch, we have no money, we have a daughter, we're both having a hard time finding a job, and I don't know what to do. I'm sure if I sat down, I could figure out a way to do it.

I really really want to go back to school, but again, I'm on the debate of what to do.

If I go to the local tech school, I don't want to be in computers again, I absolutely HATE working on computers and as far as I know the only kind of job you could get after completing the tech school classes would be a tech.... I hate that. If they offered programming, in more than one language, yes I go for that. I LOVE programming... I just don't like working with the general public.  I could also go through their EMT program, but again, I'm not exactly a people person anymore, I'm not sure how well that would work.

If I went to UGA, I'd more than likely want to finish Poli Sci and eventually go to law school. I'm sure you're thinking, "Well you just said you weren't a people person...why a lawyer?" Well, I've always wanted to be one. I'm good at arguing, at least I used to be. And you don't have to like the people you're putting away.

A little background on me:

When I was seven years old, I was molested by my baby sitter. She was caught in the act by my grandma who was coming to pick me up for something. She called the police and they arrested Rebecca.  I had to testify in court against her. I remember going to the prosecutor's office, we sat down, I told her what happened in front of a court reporter, I thought the stenograph was neat so she had the lady print up my name off of it. Later that same day, she took me to the courtroom and showed me where I would sit while I was on the stand, where the judge would sit, where she would sit and explained to me that I had to do it alone. I asked her if I could bring my stuffed dragon Fifi with me to sit on the stand because I was going to be scared and Fifi protected me. She said I could. I remembered how nice she was and how she made me feel comfortable doing something that a seven year old shouldn't be having to do.

Ever since then, I've been obsessed with the law and learning what I could.

Anywho, I'm sure if I sat down and PLANNED for this, I could do it. I know it would be hard, but I've got to do something. I wasn't meant to be a stay at home mom in the country. I was meant to do something with my life. One way or another I'm going to go back school and I'm going to be what I was meant to be regardless of who tags along on the trip, if you don't want to work with me and help me, then I guess you just better let go....
