You know when you have spent too much time in school. In my case it has been 13 long years moving from undergraduate to law school and finally graduate school. That's right, one can spend too much time in books thinking that all the answers can be found there. When you start college you think that your going to get all the answers. You are looking for that Holy Grail which will get you the A in every class. I know I wanted the "stereo instructions" for everything such as grades, relationships, work, etc. Then you get into law/grad school and learn about the grays. No longer to do you get nice pretty black and white answers.
Every question leads to more questions with very few answers and the answers you were so certain about are no longer so. Then you take stock of your life and realize you spent so much time in search of knowledge (well at least trying), you forgot there are things you can't learn in school. I am so close to the end of my formal schooling but I still sense that something is missing. This past weekend, I decided enough was enough. So today, I made the commitment to begin a significant personal development project. It will probably take longer than I have time left on my degree to complete, but I think it will be worth it.
