Sedimentary: Waiting To Be Metamorphic



So, this is my first attempt at a blog. I thought that I would just share my thoughts and let you all know what has been going on in my life. I basically have been building upon a foundation over the last 8 years. This has consisted of bettering myself through education: class after class until finally two degrees later and nowhere to go but straight into a brick wall. I find myself stuck. The only way to advance is through state certification and that is coming up in a few days on the 11th of December. If I fail the test then I have to wait another three months to take it again. The last few months have been spent studying, and studying, so much so that I can almost feel my brain starting to push against my skull. All I can do is study and wait. I don’t even feel I have time to go out and search for fossils, which I am very sad over. I have not gone out in a while to hunt and miss it greatly. I am afraid that as I move forward I won’t have as much time as I used to hunt. I desperately hope that is not the case.

However, it’s easy being where I am now because it is comfortable. If I do pass things are going to change greatly. It will be a dynamic shift between learning to do and doing. I have always been one on the move, but now things are starting to settle. I don’t know if that’s what I want. I hope that I can always be vibrant, unique, and inspirational individual throughout my life. I’d rather be metamorphic than sedimentary any day : )



I met you once. I seriously, SERIOUSLY doubt you'll fail any test. I was amazed by your intelligence and knowledge, being as young as you are. You'll do fine, my friend.

PhonenixFlood.... Good luck with the test.... It may seem that you have stopped, but by learning, preparing, its merely a slight 'meander' before you continue your jouney... so your still on the move, its just not quick enough for you to realise this...

I always found that in states of high anxiety, doubt, fretting or worry, that a healthy walk in the great outdoors (with eyes transfixed for fossils) does far more for me than adding another 3 hours of sedentary study. Good luck!

Really? Where did you met me? Send me a pm if you'd like :) Thanks for the kind words. I should have checked back on this blog sooner to let you all know that I PASSED!!! :D now it's just a matter of all the paperwork going through and finding a place to work. ^_^
