first step to a new journey

"The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes." - Benjamin Disraeli

Well, tomorrow is my first day of internship!! So full of nervous excitement about finally making it to this point. I am hoping I do well at my school placement. I really like the counselor I get to work with. She really enjoys working with the kids. I am not working anymore, so it's nice to be able to devote my full time and energy into making this a most fruitful learning experience.


I want to take this opportunity by the horns and ride it for what it is worth. I do not know what to expect, only that each bend in the journey will bring me closer to what I really want to do with my life :) I believe I was made to do this... that God gave me the gifts to help those (especially children) who need help in their life. This journey will be a roller-coaster for sure... but so is life.


I know I can do it!! Think good thoughts for me :)




PS - hopefully I may most more background fill stories from my long absence later this week

procrastination

I really want to do a blog... maybe tomorrow

lol

gotta keep moving

well I'm all moved in at the parentals!

I do have to say that me and the parents do make a hardcore moving team lol... and so far, so good!

Just been really busy (and tired) with school. Getting kind of burnt out. I love my classes, but I'm ready to be DONE!! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I want to be there already...

I MAY have an internship school site ::does happy dance:: and at the school I was kind of eyeing. Just need to take care of a few things before I know for sure. So right now, I'm just hoping and praying for the best :)


Really excited for this weekend, cuz I'm going to Kentucky to visit my 2 favorite peoples :D


On a more negative note, work politics are starting to get to me and want to get the hell out of dodge. If SELU offers me enough loan money for the fall, I'm quitting my job. On the plus side of that, I'll have more time to devote to my internship. On the downer side, I'll have to watch my $$ (not that I haven't lived tight before :p).


guess time will tell

Monday, Monday

today started off kind of blah, but it definitely ended on a good note :)

Went into work later than usual since my neck was bothering me, and the day was kind of slow. But I was able to finalize an overnight trip to Texas to see some family I hadn't seen in a while :) I also got to hang out with my bff who I had not seen in a while. Also, I am working on finishing up a care package to send to my deployed bro-in-law later this week :)

My cousin BJ was evaluated for the neuro-rehab center again, but this time his responses were much better. We should know tomorrow on whether or not he was accepted or not (but supposedly his chances looked good).

Busy week ahead:
tomorrow (Tuesday): pick some blackberries after work at a co-workers (yum!)
Wednesday: Dr. Reid/Criminal Minds season finale night @ Emma's
Thursday: hang out with Nik/Superior (?)
Friday: SatC 2 with some of my favorite ladies!
Saturday & Sunday: trip to TX :)
Monday: no work (declared a holiday for state employees)!
