Change Is The Only Constant
In the past 2 weeks I’ve moved, started my PhD program, become the mother of a high schooler, and today marks the last day of my 10 year career as a biologist! Besides being stressed, exhausted, and a nervous wreck, I’m also excited about what the future holds. I am under no false pretense that the ride I’m embarking on is going to be an easy one. On the contrary, I know that it’s going to be rough. My thought process is sacrifice now and reap the benefits later. Even with that said, I know there has to be balance. I struggled with this when I was working on my Master’s mainly because I had too many things on my plate with working fulltime and raising my children. My answer to this was my very first blog Life Maintenance where I sporadically vented and tried to create solutions when I felt overwhelmed with all that I was juggling. My answer this time is to take some things off my plate hence my not working concurrently. While I’m not enthused about returning to starving student status, I’m geeked about being able to give more time and energy to my studies…pun intended.
Kiddos 1st day of school |
Last day of work (SN: Is it just me or do I look like I ate the me in the poster. Hitting the gym stat!) |
So how will my new life affect Brit girl?
In the long run, when I finish school I’m UK-bound J. For now, I’m going to continue blogging and do my best to post regularly. My posts will still highlight my personal style and natural hair but will also serve as a platform for other areas of my life such as this one. I hope you’ll continue to support me as I need as many hugs (both concrete and virtual) as I can get these days…
XoXo,
