Countdown to Summer...

Last day of class...11 days
Last day for Bellingham School District...18 days
First day of Summer Camp...22 days

I'm in for the homestretch now. Thank God...it's been a long quarter. I can't wait for workdays that are straight 8 hour days. The split shifts are killing me.

Weird things are afoot. I don't fully understand what's going on, but I feel like God might be up to something. I just wish it were a little more clear.

I finally registered for Fall classes, and I'm really looking forward to being a full-time student. I just hope it all works out for Fall...

Clarity Comes In Fast-Moving, Determined Waves

I haven't posted for awhile...often when I'm feeling bogged down by stress, etc. writing isn't where I can spend my energy.

For several weeks now, I've been struggling with how I can accomplish what I want to accomplish with my career... I've thought through different scenarios, and I've stressed so much about it. I thought I had it all figured out, but that moment of clarity just hit me...

I now know that, for this moment in time, I want to be a family counselor for families suffering from Autism. That feels so right to me now. Much like I knew I wanted to work with Autism, I know that I want to do family counseling. It's taking so much stress away from me. I don't know how I'll get to that point, but I do know that in WA you can become a counselor with a B.A. in psychology. And after some time in the field, I'll go back and get my Masters in Counseling Psychology. To many of you who know my oldest sister, you'd think I'm following in her footsteps, for she got her Master's in C.P. And I think I'm okay with that. She still did it first, but her career looks a hell of a lot different than mine will, and that is pretty awesome too.

It's gonna be a great day.
