It's been a little while since my last post, and a lot has happened. I've actually been looking forward to this post, but I have been waiting to make sure everything was final. Before any of you get any ideas, I am NOT PREGNANT. Lately, if I have told anyone that I have exciting news, they assumed I was pregnant. Not sure why...;P Believe me, when I am pregnant, my big mouth won't be able to keep it quiet for long.
ANYWAY, my big news is that I'm headed back to grad school!!! However, I will not be returning to Southeastern. As much as I enjoyed my time there last year, it's just not the best fit for me anymore. I want to be licensed by the State of NC in order to counsel in a practice or office setting, and Southeastern does not set you up to do that anymore. So I will be attending Liberty Online to get my Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy! To say I am excited is an understatement. I am SO ready to go back to school and to finally delve into a field of study that I am so passionate about. The program should take 2-3 years depending on how many classes I can take at a time. My goal is to push myself to finish as quickly as I can. Come August, we will see just how much I can handle. As far as work, I have a full time summer job June through August working as an assistant director for the day camp my church puts on for the entire summer, and I will also be taking an online statistics class through our local community college here. I got away with not needing a statistics course for my major in undergrad, but it's required for this program. Prayers are much appreciated...math is my least favorite subject. And as for work during the school year, I have put in several applications for part time nanny jobs, so I will keep you posted on that. Everything is lining up so well, and I have so much peace about everything, which is such a blessing. I am so ready to start reading books about counseling and to start doing research again on various topics that intrigue me; I'm even excited to order my textbooks (see? I'm a total nerd). But until then, it's summer camp and statistic calculations for me. :)
