I Did It
I resigned. It was a tough day. But my boss took it pretty well. She was completely blindsided. Hopefully, tomorrow she'll be in a decent mood.
My old boss was extremely supportive. Thank goodness. She told me I had to do what was best for me. She's so wonderful and I'm really grateful for that. I hope to keep in contact with her. She's been an inspiration and so unbelievable supportive of me.
In certain ways I can't believe this is really happening. I've been going to night school for 3 years to complete all the pre-requisite classes for my program. For a long time, this has been a hypothetical situation. And now, it's very real. In 2 weeks, I'll be unemployed. It's scary. And also really, really exciting.
Thank you so much to Diana who commented that quitting and going back to school was the best thing she ever did. I needed to hear that. You don't know how much that helped.
Regularly scheduled yarn and knitting goodness to resume soon.

Congrats...you got past a really tough spot. It doesn't matter who at work gets upset all that matters is that this is the right decision for you.
Yay! You did it! Instead of settling and living a life of "what if?" You did it!
You know, the best part of going back to school after being in the work force is how much a piece of cake it is. All these students moan and groan at how hard it is to go to a ten o'clock class and be done at noon. HA! Try getting up at 6:oo and working for 25 years! It's like a summer vacation ! Just enjoy it.
Wow!!! Way to go!!! I'm impressed and humbled. I haven't had the guts so far, though I did push a friend into it a year ago (she does, however, have a husband who can make it easier)
I keep saying I will do this...I really hope I can...if nothing else as soon as we're more settled financially and otherwise I will go back part-time...
You are an absolute inspiration!
Good for you! When I told my boss I was giving her my two weeks, she said, "Well that's awfully short notice!" Then she took me off the schedule for the whole two weeks out of spite. Best decision I ever made!
When I was a young snot in college, I remember really admiring the women who came back for a degree (or another one). It's not the easiest decision to make, so kudos and best wishes!
Congratulations! I've done this before (the resigning part) and know how stressful that can be.
