Teeeheehee. I gots the giggles. I go home today, or as close as home can get. Tomorrow I leave for CA, then back to AZ on Sunday, then LV on Sunday night, then back to AZ the following Sunday. So much traveling... I feel like a state trotter (as opposed to a globe trotter). I'm kinda nervous, but I'm really excited at the same time. I will be moving into my new apartment in a little over a month, plus working at a job that I'm kinda psyched about. Come June, once I move in and pay my first month's rent, I'm setting up a financial spreadsheet so I can take care of bills on time and balance my accounts. I'm working with my sis and sis-in-law 'cause they have a spreadsheet they use for bills and they said it helps a lot. I'm hoping it will.
I also got a Visa Card. I've never had one. I paid off my tennis bracelet and my laptop and now I'm trying for another card. I'm rather proud of myself for it. This whole establishing credit thing doesn't seem as bad as people have been making it out to be. So long as you watch what you spend and you pay your bills on time, you're pretty much good to go. And the card is through my bank so I can do automatic transfers and stuff online without jumping through too many hoops. Kinda glad about that.
A lot going on it seems. I'm told my summer job is very stressful, but can still be really fun. I get to mold the minds of incoming freshman here. *Insert evil laugh here* But in all honesty it's something I like doing. I'm looking at it as yet another teaching position for me to pursue. I wanted to do it for next summer, but I'ma going to France, so there goes that idea. And France will have art classes and so much culture and I cannot wait. Seriously cannot wait for it.
Might take French in winter session, along with some FSHD courses for my minor. Might end up minoring in FSHD altogether, because I'm not 100% certain if I still want to do art therapy now. Yes, I want to do counseling. But I also love doing peer advising, and I can go into higher education to become an academic retention specialist. It's an excellent position, or I can do academic advising either at high school or college level. Either choice would be good for me and they're both things I love. Yes, I love therapy, but maybe advising is another form of therapy until I go for my PhD. Damn. That's such a long ways off. I just need to focus on graduating at the moment. So many goals, so many dreams.... remember, people, I'm out of my friggin' mind sometimes. This is one of those moments.
I like helping people. Plain and simple. I like being able to help people with their problems and work with them to solve things. It's a nice feeling to be able to say "Yeah, you did it! Way to go! I knew you could!" Call me the biggest cheeseball on the planet, but it's how I am. It's what I do. And I like it that way.
Final in T Minus 36 minutes. I'm so ready to go with this. I can do it. I know I can. I will ace this class and my GPA will go back up and life will be good. Now if I could just figure out how to make a transporter......
