Life is Good
Minus the little annoyances that litter everyday of my life, everything has been going pretty damn well these past few weeks.
Home life is cool. Sometimes my dad gets overcontrolling but he's been pretty mellow the past few days. My brother has been visiting and that's cool too. Melody got new shelves in her room and the handyman oiled her, mine and my mom's closet doors so now they open without having to lift them and worry about them falling off. That man is a god. I got me a new 9 cube shelf which is AWESOME. I put a bunch of my books and DVDs in there so my room looks even more organized than before. I LOVE it!
I've continued my obsession with TV DVD seasons. I now own Smallville Seasons 1-4 and One Tree Hill Seasons 1&2. I also bought Melody the Gilmore Girls Seasons 1-4. Yet I am still ashamed that I have not gotten FRIENDS Season 10. Oh well my birthday IS coming up.
My friends have been especially awesome lately. Kammy and I hung out a couple weeks ago and we went to see Eric perform with his new bandmates. Saw Jared who I haven't seen since then (Where are you my only white male friend?). Went to Friday's and had me a great burger.
School is interesting this semester. Got one class with Eric and one with Kammy. Two classes with Cindy, a girl I met last semester in one of my other classes. and The same two classes I have with Cindy I also have with Vicky who happens to be an intern at the Child Study Center with me this semester.
Speaking of the CSC...I'm back into that and I LOVE IT!!! I'm so excited to see the kids next week. I can't wait. I've missed them so much and I hope they all had a great break. This experience has really made me question what I want to do with my life. Which leads me to the one thing that has been bothering me the most lately.
What the hell am I gonna do once I leave college? On one hand: I'm studying psychology and I like it but I hate doing research. On the other hand: I'm good with children. I like being around them and working with them is rewarding. Being a teacher makes me happy but I dunno if I could be a teacher by myself. At the CSC I'm one of 6 teachers. Being the lone teacher with all the responsibilities and ability to shape and mold a child's mind is scary. Finacially, being a psychologist or psychiatrist would be better. I'm accustomed to a certain way of life that I don't think I could keep up if I were a teacher.
I dunno. If it were up to me I'd stay in school forever. I'm good at school. I like school. I like searching around for textbooks and taking tests. I dunno I guess I'm a weirdo but I like school because I'm good at it.
I want to be a teacher and I want to be a psychologist but Teaching is more fun Yet I'm afraid to jump into something that I don't know if I'll be good at. I've always been cautious but I dunno if this is something I should just take a chance on and I honestly don't know if I could bring myself to taking the chance.
