Currently at work and trying not to pull my hair out.  The kids are restless today and even the best ones are acting out.  I completely understand, unfortunately we have to deal with it;(

I started graduate school on Sat. and I had a great time.  We have so much work to do, this in addition to working full-time and studying for my LCDC.  Ug.

I haven’t been in the studio in a couple of weeks and I miss it.  My calouses on my fingers are even starting to heal;( I need to start practicing more.

Anyways, guess I need to get back to “babysitting”.

 ~Ciao~

I’ve been laying low for a while:)  I just graduated with my B.S. in Psychology and a minor in English and I am so proud of myself for finally following through with something.  I seemed to have developed a problem with not following through sometime.  Maybe I just broke the mold.

I started back working at the treament center, this time I am just with the adolscents (yea) and I love it.  I work 7 a.m. – 3 p.m., Monday – Friday.  It is a great schedule.  I will be working it until sometime in October with the girl I am covering  maternity leave for returns.  After that, I don’t know what I will do.  Hopefully I will continue on in some other capacity or another there, but we will see.  I will hopefully have my CI (Counselor Intern) letter by then so that I can start obtaining hours towards my LCDC practicum.  I need to take the test in December and pass the first time around so that I will be be able to bypass the 2000 hours of supervision.  I want some supervision, but this way it is much more flexible.  I am in the process of developing my case study which needs to be turned in with test registration in October, so I have a lot of work to do.

I’m still working on music, but I have decided that I like making music and being in the studio more than I like performing music at gigs and whatnot.  I know, that is completely the opposite of most musicians, but I am not most musicians;)  I know what my future is, I know the direction that I want to go in and I just want to make music on the side.  I enjoy it so much more when I am making it for myself and not for any particular market.  So, after any gigs I have posted, I will not be taking on anymore because I will not have the time.

Graduate school starts a week from today and I am very excited about it.  I will be working towards my MFT (Marriage and Family Therapy) license as well as my LCDC(License Chemical Dependency Counselor) and this fall is going to be very busy.  I can’t wait till my annual trip to Hawaii in March, my home away from home:)  We look forward to retiring there someday:)

Anyways, I’m off to try and wake myself up.  I know it is almost 1 p.m. but I have been working hard this week as well as working out and my muscles are screaming:)

Ciao:)
