In my Teacher Leadership class, I had to complete the Myers-Briggs personality test. It turns out I'm an Extrovert (big surprise there, haha), iNtuition, Thinker, and a Judger. It is important for me to remember that these are good or bad results, but just results that provide self-awareness. This site gives more info on my personality. One thing that really rang true is that I tend to take on more then I really should.
This is why I ignored my husband's plea that I not take classes this term. I could feel the snowball effect that would happen if I didn't take classes. I would have to push back my graduation date by three terms, pay for the classes out of pocket (I get tuition waivers b/c from Otterbein), and maybe not take the classes at all if life got stressful in other ways and fail to graduate. As a result, I'm trying to push through my three classes, my full-time OC job, subbing 3-5 days/week, and the process of buy/renovating/moving into our first home. This was a lot.
Perhaps my husband was right, and I should have taken the term off. Then again, maybe a year from now I will be teaching full-time, pregnant, and SO glad I have my degree! Can you tell INTJ's are planners??

Full plate for sure! I believe that light you see is the end of the tunnel and not an oncoming locomotive. Take a deep breath.
ReplyDeleteYou and my sister: She had two kids and pregnant with her third when she and her husband were going for their master's. You guys make the world go 'round. Remember to enjoy it as you travel through - take pictures, sit, touch, think, smell, enjoy the journey.
