L'Ecole

School started on Monday. I'm excited about completing my practicum at JADAC and training to actually become a substance abuse counselor. My hope had been to get the house purchased before school started, but it seems like every time I look up there's some issue that keeps me from closing and moving in. Oh well. Papa says I should be patient, and I know he's right. Anything worth having is worth fighting/waiting for, right?

I have a fresh resolve to stay organized and not procrastinate any this semester. I'm going to attempt to have papers completed well before their deadlines, and study for the one exam I have well before it rolls around. (NOTE: In my entire grad school experience this would only be the second exam I have had. How awesome is that?!?)

Other goals for this upcoming year:

Go on Carribean cruise with Ausha;

Go on cruise with the fam;

Go to Japan to visit Raamyn (or early 2011);

Graduate with my M.S.S.W.;

Begin another degree (NOTE: I've narrowed it down to two [and that was quite a feat!]. I'm either going to get a bachelor's in Spanish, or my PhD in Social Work. If I'm accepted to both programs, of course my PhD comes first.)

There may be more as we go along, but those should suffice for now.
