Avril Lavigne's newest song is about how great and happy her life is, because she finally found a good boyfriend. What makes her boyfriend so wonderful? He slipped something in her drink so she blacked out and then did who knows what to her, including getting his name tattooed on her. Proof that they're meant to be. Isn't that just so sweet? I mean wow, I'm really jealous, where did she find such a catch? Wish I had something that good going on.
Really?
I am speechless.
This is playing on the radio. People are listening to it. I need to go throw up.
Anyway...that's not what I'm here to blog about.
I started this post to say that today I bought 2 GRE test-prep books. You know what that means? It means that after a year and a half of talk, blog post after blog post of the same getting-nowhere talk, talk has now turned into action. Change and progress, yep they're happening. I'm moving forward. Yay! I feel confident about it. And it's really exciting.
My search has been narrowed down to 4 or 5 schools, which I will soon start applying to, and that process will be done by the end of the year. Hopefully I get accepted to at least 1, which means a year from now, I will be a graduate student in a school psychology program, about to begin working towards a Master's and Specialist degree to become a certified NASP-approved school psychologist, which means the ability to work anywhere in the country.
The next year is going to be quite the adventure. A lot still needs to be considered...how much this will cost, where I'll live, who I'll live with, etc...but it'll work out. I'm also gonna start looking for a 2nd job this fall, because I'm going to need to save. And save. And save. All work and just a little bit of play for me. I couldn't say no play, because I can't not have some playtime.
So what got me to finally start moving forward and making active steps to plan my future? Well you see, there's this boy who I've spent the past 4 months of my life with, who is going on a mission to Brasil in 2 months. For those of you reading this that don't know (does anyone even read this anyway?) that means 2 whole years of only snailmail communication. Because 2 years is a long time and a lot can happen, I don't know what exactly my future holds and whether or not this boy will be involved (although that would be nice =) ) but I do know that while he's gone I wanna learn and grow and have great experiences just like he will. I don't want 2 years to go by and I've done nothing, gotten no where, not improved or changed or experienced anything. Nope, I'm gonna go out and do something cool with my life. Thank you Josh, for being my inspiration to be better in so many ways.
Everyone, wish me luck! An adventure is beginning.
