Well my career change is underway. I take my texas real estate exam next thursday, and I have already had 2 interviews with different brokers. I have another one on monday. I'm so glad the first one is over! I always work my self into a frenzy before I start something new. I build everything up in my mind and while appearing optimistic on the outside I am expecting the worst on the inside. So what usually happens is it can never be as bad as I expect and by comparison it is almost always very positive. Not the way I'd like to approach things, but knowing that doesn't really help preventing how I feel. Anyways, they both when very well, and I think I'll go with the first one I interviewed with. They had a very professional looking office,a large market share in the area, a very comprehensive training program that I think is well designed. They also have a trainer at each office and they were very up front about cost, and expectations. They also had a package of materials all put together for me to look over. Which saved me time writing things down and helped me remember questions to ask. The 2nd broker had some of this but not all of it. The just didn't seem as prepared.
Beginning in August we will be living back in Clear Lake. I'm so glad to be moving back there. While it would have been cool to move in with our friend,but the drive would have just killed us, money & time-wise. Especially since I'm staying on at my current job part time until I get going in real estate, and I want to practice in Clear Lake, not inner loop.. Besides, I'm still not sure he would have enjoyed living with two kids all the time. I don't think I would have liked it too much when I was single and childless. I love them, but it does take a lot of patience.
Next weekend we'll be camping with family, which should be fun. I wonder how Aidan is going to like the great outdoors.
I started a new journal recently (javaverses), or I should say I started it a while ago,but forgot the password. So I have spent the meantime trying to remember the brilliant password I came up with. It's going to be a poetry only journal. Old, new, edits & rewrites. I don't post poetry here mostly because I know that not everyone who reads my journal enjoys poetry (most, but not everyone) and I hope to post frequently. Personally speaking, when I read my friends page I don't want to see just one person posting over & over again. So be forewarned if you add it to your friends list, it maybe frequently updated. I will make no apologies, and no promises to LJ CUT. You have been forewarned. So far I haven't done anything with it. But time permitting, I'll start posting soon.
Well I guess I should get off the computer and clean house while the munchkins are napping.
