a new plan

I have a new plan. Its kind of come at me sideways and it feels very strange to be saying this without feeling like the world is going to end. But my new plan is to study to become an accountant. That is, firstly, I am going to study to be an accounts technician. Which means I can become a financial temp and get better rates of pay than I would otherwise. And see how I go from there. My reasoning is primarily, how can I earn the most in the least time. And I have always been kind of 'into' budgeting and managing my personal accounts. So while I am not thrilled by the idea of doing this for a living (oh how I would rather be an artist....) I have to acknowledge our need to earn money - to eat, pay off the mortgage, pay bills and hopefully invest in our financially free future. My artistic ambitions are not put aside. The aim behind this is to earn as much money in as little time as I can, in order to create the space and time to pursue my art. It is still my dream to have my own artists studio and time to create in it. It is also my dream to be able to pay off our mortgage and do our house up. Hence. Big decision. Feels very odd to be saying it and not crying. But I have to do something and out of the options I can see.... it feels like the best one. Lets see how I can on with the study!! that might yet be a bigger hurdle than i currently imagine it to be.
