I am a waffler, waffle being defined as a 'failure to make up one's mind.' Sigh. On the one hand, I'm rather a definitive person. But on the other hand, I can be convinced of a totally alternative perspective. I received an email from Simon Fraser University stating that I am on the wait list for entry to their Masters of Educational Practice Program. The good news is that it's not an outright rejection. (Then this would be a different post:)) So, I am on 'pause'. Living in the unknown is especially waffly. I talk a good game of 'live in the moment' and take risks, but actually, I admit I like to 'know' certain things are 'for sure'. Though I might desire to go down the road less travelled, when I consider the narrowness of the road, it's steepness, brambles, lack of direction and fierce creatures, the friendly path i know seems the more attractive option. So, I wait. This is annoying because I like to take charge, am impatient and just want to know what's happening with my life! But, on the upside, this time gives me time to think about my life priorities going into September. What REALLY matters to me? Does a Masters program fit into this if the opportunity presents itself? What are my motivations for applying? A wise person once told me that 'we should think for ourselves, but not by ourselves." I have the opportunity during the summer to reflect, to ponder, to ask, to inquire, community and on my own. Time to get honest with myself. Time for another pro and cons list.
