I keep freaking out that I am in grad school. Never, ever did I think I’d go back to academia. It is very funny how life works. One day, you are volunteering and then riding your bike for a couple thousand miles, one day you move to austin with a broken heart and apply to a non profit on a whim. One day, you look at a learning center full of kids and they are shouting out yoga poses, or about the book you made them read that they ended up loving because it related to them and not somebody else, and you think- holy shit, this is what I am meant to do. you put off school for a year because you are part of the working poor and never believed you could make it work, and then one day the loans don’t seem too heavy. one day the man you love proposes, you wear a ring and you wake up and ride your bike to university and you’re learning about the brain and you’re coming home and watching jeopardy and even though the weeks are stressful and full of reading and sad stories about failed treatments and unethical studies and you’re not making any income, you know you’re on the right path. 

I’m feeling all sorts of things because I just won a scholarship that will put a dent in my tuition fees and i never thought i would be here. Learning and growing in this way. It feels so very good to be here. Still can’t really believe it.
