This has been an awful trend in my life. I'll be in a healthy, long-term and thriving relationship, one that I could see lasting endlessly. Then, a graduation comes around and it is time for me to get my next degree. This has happened twice already: after junior high graduation and after high school graduation. Now, it seems like it is happening a third time, as I pursue my MFA. Part of me says that I should think about my professional health and education. Another part of me says I should hold onto this relationship and postpone graduate school. I'm stranded in this all too familiar predicament. Obviously, in the past, I've chosen education over relationship. I don't believe that I regret those decisions. Now, the third time around, for once, I'm honestly considering keeping this person around by postponing my educational life. In all honesty, a year or two away from academia may do me some good. But what will I do and where will I work during that time? I have an English degree and little to no work experience--who in their right mind would hire me for anything?
In short, has anyone else out there in blogland been in this messy situation before? how did you handle it?
