if i had a chance I'd ask the world to dance...
So, I've been feeling really good with how things have been turning out with my life. I just put in my notice from DICKS and I will be doing a REAL job with benefits and working full-time. I will be a Primary Rehabilitation Counselor at Maranda's House, which is a residential center for homeless women with HIV, many of which are also diagnosed as poly-substance abuse, and their families to help them live their lives sober and maintain affordable housing. I start training hopefully next week. I originally did not want to work at this place but since I did my internship at it's sister site, it didn't seem like a bad idea... I already have a good grasp on the paper work and how the program works. So needless to say I'm excited especially since it qualifies for my internship next year... and did I mention I'm getting paid??! Almost 3 dollars more than I did at DICKs. The only thing that blows is that I have to work the 4-12pm shift on fridays and saturdays... ugh. oh well. I'll learn to adjust.
The other thing is that I'm extremely happy with my current situation with Pete. I had been single for 2yrs and been through some shit-astic situations with some guys from UNH and also some BS during the summer of "i love you," "i love you not". Some of you can take a wild guess and maybe a laugh at that one... haha. I really did not want to be in a relationship when I got up here to MA... I figured I'd go to school and then come back to CT and find an awesome paying job (hey, i can dream...) I really did not think I could fall head over heels for a guy again.. but I came to that realization the other day. Pete makes me so incredibly happy and for the first time, everything in my life feels right. At the end of August I will be moving in to his house-- which he is planning to sell cause it's huge-- and we are making plans to find a house together somewhere in Grafton, MA. It's kinda funny how the two of us weren't looking for a relationship at the time- just a person to hang out, get to know, and take it slow- nothing serious... and now it is everything but.
Classes are going well... I'm mad that one of my grades never did get fixed as an incomplete.. so know I have someone in the department straightening it out. I have a 3.71 GPA right now... but it should go back up to atleast a 3.75 or higher once that gets fixed. School is good. I love the people in my class... well most of them... we have a group of girls we do call the "Plastics" and if you've seen Mean Girls you catch the drift. too funny. I think I did enough writing for now....
If i haven't heard from you in a while... leave one. let me know how it is going
