Itching to write again

I have had this idea for a couple weeks now. Every time I have a good moment to think, my mind wanders to writing down my "adventure". That is if you can call a Masters Degree an adventure. My thoughts on blogging again was to document my quest to learn to ask questions. One of the things that most annoys me about myself is that I don't ask good questions and for that matter, I don't know how. Well, there is one exception to that, when I'm giving a Relief Society lesson in church I do pretty good at it, but I think that is more a self preservation thing so I don't have to talk. (If you can get the sisters talking, you can normally get the lesson taught for you.)

Today I finished my second quarter as a grad student. It is a struggle, but it is rewarding. And I am happy. There has been a bit of talk about me going on after my masters is done to pursue a PhD. This is something I thought I was too dumb to do a few years ago, but now almost seems possible. I have a great adviser who encourages me and I am really thankful for that. Slowly I am getting out of my protective shell of shyness with everyone at school and feeling more comfortable.

There are things that I'm still really bad at though, things that really bring me down, such as test taking. I don't know how to ask myself the questions so that I can rightly prepare myself for a test. Then with test in front of my, mind goes blank. So, I started to realize, I need to learn to ask myself questions. I need to learn to think. As I get further in my education I realize how important this skill is.

Mind you, if I manage to post, it won't all be about questions, but about this adventure of mine that I some how stumbled into.
