Boring day...boring life - Check
So, now that I'm not running around Alaska with two super fun ladies, I realize that my life is pretty boring. Last night, as it was Friday night, I definitely ran out of work things that I could do at that hour of night, and started reading my Psychology text book. I haven't even started the class yet! Basically I'm turning into a huge nerd, but I'm not really that upset about it, mostly because I know there is much worse ahead. Starting classes full time in the fall will definitely be killer, but I'm actually kind of looking forward to it. I feel like I get so much more accomplished and get it done well when I'm under a lot of pressure and have lots of things to do. I'm not sure how well my theory of burning out will work, but I guess I'll cross my fingers and hope for the best.
I decided that I'm going back to school for a degree in education, perhaps psychology. I'm taking psychology this summer and have registered for both education and psychology classes is the fall. Hopefully if all goes well and I make some kind of a decision during fall semester I will have my AA in either Education or Psychology in about a year, and possibly moving on to grad school soon after.
Other than work and school, there really isn't a whole lot going on. I'm going home for 4th of July weekend, and I'm very excited that my whole family is going to be there! I haven't seen my brother and sister in law since their wedding...over a year ago! We're taking family pictures, which reminds me that I still have to figure out what I'm going to do with the new hair cut for that. It's kind of short-ish now and I haven't had short hair for a very long time...so I need to figure something out fast! My 5 year class reunion is on that weekend. I'm really excited to see everyone, especially since I fail at keeping in touch with people. And I'm super excited to see my parents too. I hate living so far away from everyone!
Despite the random weird long hours that I have at work (Yesterday 15hr shift + overnight, Today 18hr shift + overnight, Tomorrow 12 hr shift + overnight) I really do like my job. I just wish that a lot of the adults in the organization would be more consistent. And even though some of my co-workers and I say that we hate the job all the time. Lately I've actually been thinking about staying here for a while. I'm not sure that I've learned everything that I should've from these ladies yet and I think I have so much more to experience. I'm just starting to get confident and comfortable enough working at the girls house to really start growing in this position, and I know that I'm going to be moved back to the boys house soon. It will probably take me a month or two to get used to that environment and routine again in order to feel that I'm actually making progress.
So, to recap:
Crazy work schedule - Check
Adding school to that schedule - Check
Wishing that I could move all of MN closer to Phoenix - Check
