So back in 08 I started my postgraduate education, it was very exciting and in a field I love but the class modality and content were a huge let down, I guess I expected to learn more than just sit and listen and read from a book... I remember I'd go on ebay and look at anatomical brain models and say "when I have my office I'm gonna buy a nice one and have it my desk" (yes I'm lame) but I never finished, I still dont really know why... I'm only 2 papers and a thesis away, at first I just lied to myself saying I didn't have time, then I placed it on hold to move back here and get my husband here, etc. I'm also scared because when I graduated I did it through knowledge tests and practice, to graduate this time I need to present and defend a thesis which I have no clue where to begin, so I pretty much let it slip by.
Yesterday we went to drop off a prescription at the pharmacy and we had about 30 minutes to kill while we did it, so we went to this little thrift shop next to it, I kinda love thrifts shops and yard sales because you find weird and interesting things, well as soon as I walked in one of them hit me right in the face, this beauty:

As I held it in my hand I felt sad, and I wanted it so bad but I kept telling myself I dont deserve it because I have no office and no desk to put it on, I haven't earned that right, but it burned in me, it rekindled that desire to go back and face my failure, I'm not even sure if I can still pick up where I left off, but I'm sure as hell gonna try, there was a lot of effort, money, time and restless nights placed into my education to just leave it there, I was gonna leave the model at the store but my husband didn't let me, he said he believed I can get there and I should really try again and he bought it for me (he also said we could resell it if worst came to worst)
So I know this is a weird inspiration form, have you guys ever had weird things or circumstances that inspired you to keep you going?
