Wow, time flys!!!

Wow, happy 7 years since the first day I got my license!! It is crazy to think that 7 years ago I was 16 years old and so nervous waiting in my mom Navy Blue Alero waiting for the driving instructor to pass or fail me. Now driving is just a habit that sometimes I don't even remember how I got to some of the places I get to because it is so routine. That is super safe!!!
Well at-least now I have a brandddd new car that I can actually be safe in & that is beautiful!

Super excited for tomorrow and the journey of the nice weather and the start of my get fit challenge for myself!!! I would like to lose 10lbs and stop eating fast food, junk food and soda!! I would also like to run at least 5 days a week with atleast 2 miles each run! Really going to need some encouragement for this one!! There is a 5k race coming up in about 2 weeks to benefit Haiti and I am pretty sure that I am going to do it!!

As for today: Another typical Wednesday for me.
Mustered through my laundry that I forgot in the dryer for like 4 hours yesterday.
Procrastinated while I got ready.
Pretty sure that I aced a quiz.
Sat through class and realized that I am completely addicted to technology.
Ran errands.
Now i'm back to blog about my liiife. I am using this on a stress reliever for sure.
Now, I am off to a place that has no wireless internet so I can pound out some homework and then sit through a meeting.
Tonight I am playing Volleyball and seriously can not wait. Tomorrow is a really long day and I neeeed time for myself!!

Aggravated Rudeness

Today, I went to go pick up data from an elementary school to do some work and make some money & even though i called and said I would be there at 2:15 the women was in a meeting, was rude and then was like well I can't get you the data until like 3. Uhm, why wouldn't you call me back and tell me this before? Oh well, I guess that just means that I don't have to work on that stuff until next week. I suppose that is a plus for me because I have a ton of homework to get to- which I am going to get to right now.

Back to the blog.

I'm not exactly sure why but for some reason I want to get back into blogging.
Maybe I want to do it as a form a stress relief. To be able to write how I am feeling, or maybe I want to do it because I saw an episode of house last night featuring an avid blogger.

But I suppose I will start with a low down on me in case anyone is interested in reading this I am a young female in my early 20's trying to finish my first year of graduate school in the Mental Health Counseling. I graduated recently with my bachelors degree in Psychology and am eager to graduate again with my masters & get out into the working world if I am able to find a career. Many people are not aware of this but Licensed Mental Health Counselors are having a difficult time right now because LCSW (Social Workers) who have become intimidated by the thought that we could possible steal potential clientele have limited our scope of practice causing fear and unnecessary pain to clients who need help. To me it shouldn't matter how many clients you see and how much money you make but how many people can be helped at one time. Meaning more counselors, more people can be helped. However, the world works in different ways than my mind and selfish acts have dominated selfless acts.

I am in an amazing relationship with the man of my dreams and we are moving in together next August. It is crazy to think that this is the person that I will actually be spending the rest of my life with. I guess some part of me still feels like a child and like this is too soon, but its not. It is always going to be scary the first time something big happens, but you have to start somewhere.

Today, has been somewhat productive. Although I am extremely exhausted & craving a nap, I have woken up early, managed to stay awake during 3 hour class, dropped off data to a coworker and ate lunch.
Still upcoming: I have an eye appointment in less than an hour.
I have to pick up more data for work.
I have to run annoying errands.
I have to throw in laundry and work on homework and studying for classes.
I also have a counseling session later tonight that I really am not looking forward too because I am a bit rusty.
I am also waiting for an order to come in that I placed over the weekend. Bought a cute pair of rainboots that will become seriously handy if April showers do indeed bring May Flowers!

I am a little stressed out and not as organized as I would like to be right now, so I think what I will be doing for a bit is tidying up my room and trying to get things ready for when I come back and pound out some homework. This weekend is suppose to be beautiful and I would much rather be outside doing something active than inside stuck doing homework..like always.
