Children and the school of life

I'm at a point in my life where I really want kids. Unfortunately, I'm at a point in my life where I am experiencing life in the role of a junior at ASU. While many girls my age are taking pictures and having adventures with their sweet babies, I am pondering over complex calculus problems. I'm not planning on using my degree, so why am I doing this? The conclusion I've come to is this: I like a challenge, and forcing myself to stick to something I can quit at any time is a challenge.

This ponderance begs a new question: Isn't having a raising children of God the most complex challenge known to women, and men for that matter? Why is it that I can't seem to wrap my head around having kids at this moment, even though this is what I crave? I really don't know...maybe I'll keep pondering on that one.
