Finally Done!

This post is just for me...

I am finally a college graduate with my BS (Bachelors of Science) degree in Psychology. It has taken me such a long time to do this, but it has been something that I have REALLY wanted to do for myself. My next goal is to get my Masters and possibly PhD, which might be another 5 years to accomplish. I am so grateful for a helpful husband and children so I could be away from home some nights, study instead of play (which Lysa would actually help me with my flashcards), and not be a very good housekeeper or cook.

I started a new job doing PSR (psychosocial rehabilitation) work which I must say my very first day I wanted to quit and didn't think I could handle or stand the smells or mess that I saw. After processing the first day and having a heart-to-heart with my supervisor, who knows I was having a tough time, I came to realize that it might be hard and some days flat out suck, but we are all people and some of us might need more help than others. I just need to treat them how I would want to be treated or how I would want someone to treat my kids.

This is my second week now and I am liking my job more than the previous week and I love working with the kids, which I actually thought I would like the adults better, so I guess it is a good thing I am going into School Psychology. Kids give me hope, hope that I might be able to do something tiny to help them. I know they will teach me patience and give me insight to help me later on with my School Psychology career.

Enough of my ramblings, but I do feel lucky to be able to find this job while Lance is looking for another one. I am still doing transcription for MountainStar as well as transcribing for a couple of other doctors that I picked up on the side. I am very busy lately and feeling guilty that I am away from home a lot! This puts a damper on my running and working out schedule, but I would rather spend time with my family and time is a precious thing to me right now.
