The learning never ends...

When I graduated in June, I was thrilled to be "done"! I was supposed to bve finished with long nights in front of textbooks, weekends spent reading, and standardized tests. My new boss reiterated this point when we met a few months before graduation and she said "can't you wait to be finished every day at 5:00!?" The answer was yes; I was really ready for that!

Well, was I wrong! The learning, testing, and "homework" did not end! This probably sounds like a rant. I apologize for my whining. I'm very lucky to have a job in this economy, and one that I love too- so I am genuinely happy. It's just exhausting to work 8 hours and come home to CPCU (Property and Casualty) textbooks... They are graduate level insurance exams, and I have to pass 8 of them to obtain my designation. I'm hoping to take 2 by Christmas... but that is going to take some dedication and time outside of the 8-5 hours!

So I've had my great social life for a few months now, but I suppose it's time to get serious again. I won't be able to walk to class at noon and leisurely order my Starbucks latte on the way, but I will definitely still be actively learning in my new career! Big girl jobs come with big girl work, and I'm ready for the challenge!
