    Well, it's 2:22AM here in good old Texas, I just finished up a quiz on Public Relations in Community Policing and did alright for a guy with 4 hours sleep and just off of a nice evening at work.

    By the way the Dallas Mavericks rocked, not that I got to see much of it.....but back to the topic at hand.

    I discovered a benefit of posting on Degreeinfo........and that benefit is keeping one's perspective.

    I'll explain, recently my brother and I have been going back and forth talking about what our Masters degree will be, he's getting an MBA from Amberton University (solid choice) and I've run the gamut from getting a MSCJ from Troy University to a JD from Texas Weslyan.......and back again........twice.......waving both hands in the air in desperation.

    Frankly I have been so focused on school and work and marriage etc. that I forgot what it was I exactly wanted to do when I grew up.

    Well, at one point when all I had was time to think about this I decided that I would get an MBA from St. Josephs College of Maine. At some point during the last year I went nuts and started to run the same insane gamut again asking the same questions, sometimes different ones, but tonight I stopped, looked up some old debates and posts I had shared with Mr. DesElms and some of the observations I had written when I was thinking more clearly and now suddenly feel a "peace" about a MBA at St. Josephs College......again...........funny, I've run in circles for months only to arrive at the decision I knew was the right one to begin with.....why? Because I was a bit irked at SJCME for raising their tuition......BIG FRIGGIN DEAL....in 10 years I won't even miss the extra $3,500 or so......I'll have spent that amount on soda, but it did show me something.........sometimes when we begin to doubt our choices we should re-examine what it is we wanted before things became so foggy and convoluted. Secondly, we should make choices based upon the peace you get in your heart when you know your decision, even if you're not sure why, third, we all run around the mountain at one point in our life searching for an answer that we knew was there but wouldn't own up to for some stupid near sighted reason.....

    I don't know what the future holds for me in the next 8 months, but I'm glad the stuff I've written here a year ago gives me an idea.

    By the way, has anyone seen DesElms around lately?
