...but it's not strong enough. I really am beginning to dislike School Psych. I don't know, I just don't see myself working with the young mental health and special education populations. It's frustrating sitting in class listening to my "colleagues" discuss really important issues to them and, admittedly, not really caring. I mean, to rephrase that, I DO care, it's just...I know this field is not for me. And, quite frankly, I am glad to be realizing it now when I only have a few weeks in with the program...plenty of time to get out and decide what I really want to be doing (aka working with John Gottman in the Psych Dept - HOLY CRAP, would I be EXCITED).
Speaking of "aka," I just found out what that meant on Monday. That's the other thing, I have learned SO MANY new words in the last three weeks, it's amazing! I feel like a whole new woman! Well, not really, but kind of! Albeit maybe a little dorky, it's still thrilling to whip out a new word and actually KNOW what it means! Examples, you may ask? Aka, compulsory schooling, exhorbanant, etc. My vocab is expanding and I am loving it!
At least I was right about one thing in grad school, my interests and priorities are definitely streamlining. I am constantly figuring out what is important to me and, in effect, making the necessary time for it. For example, maybe I don't love running, but I do LOVE dancing, so I have been slowly working that into my schedule because it's something I can't NOT do. Definitely one of my passions. I hope to make my life a sort of...compilation of all my loves. Sounds kinda funny, but when you think about it, isn't that what life is supposed to be? A compilation of respective individual loves? I mean, there are certain things we MUST do to survive, but shouldn't we love most of what we do on a daily basis? Isn't that what life is about?
Enough of my philosophies, I now must go to the Financial Aid Office (for the 4th time in 2 weeks) to figure out why some of my loan money wasn't deposited into my account. Grrr. Getting a little frustrating if you ask me. Then to Guthrie (where the Dept of Psych is housed) to check out switching programs. Then, I gots some serious reading to do! I need to know my stuff for my next class considering that my crush is in the class and the more I read, the more I impress (besides the wonderful impression I have already made with my overall beauty). Very important!
Oh, and remind me that I really want to be fluent in French before I'm 30. Among a gaggle of other things I want to do before I'm 30. Okay. Ciao for now.
PS - MOM. I LOVE YOU THE MOST.
PSS - An update on my Craig's List men: My favorite (and really the only person I have been emailing on a consistent basis) is definitely Jon. He keeps me laughing. :)
