Back to school...

The word school really makes me cringe. I never did like school. I liked all the activities that went along with it, but as far as making myself study and do well, I was never really inspired and sort of just floated on by. I don't know why I am like this. My mom was little miss study hard and make sure you got it to a "T". Dad graduated high school and was done with it, he hated school too. Must be like him in that way. School is not for everyone though. Many successful people don't even have a college degree, even though, I must say it's wonderful to have. It seems like the thing to do these days, like there is no decision, you just do it.

Anyway, I have my bachelor's degree and when I finished with that I hooped and hollered and said these words, "Thank goodness I am done with school I will NEVER go to school again." Which leads me to this next phrase, "NEVER SAY NEVER!"

That's right. I am going to be gearing up to take the GRE and will be headed to Grad school as soon as I make the grade. I am going to get my Masters in Psychology and my hope is to become a Psychologist in Psychotherapy. Let me just say I have always wanted to be a Psychiatrist and thought when I first went to college I would think seriously about it. Well you know that includes med school and as cool as being Dr. Kenley Baker sounded, I just knew I wasn't really to apply myself that hard. When you do something like that you have to be all in or nothing. I wasn't ready for that. Now that I am 25 going on 26 I must say I have grown up since the days of being 18. Haven't we all? SO while I would LOVE to go to med school and become a Psychiatrist, I am a married woman who wants babies soon, so really, no need for me to put Nate through that. He definitely thinks it would be cool to say my wife is a Doctor, but I definitely think it's much cooler to remember I married Nate and vowed to take good care of him and already we are planning for kids. I won't break that. SO, next best choice, Psychologist.

My mom has already agreed to be my first basket case and Audra said she would be my second. So with that said, here in a few years, feel free to be my basket case as well. You may all say a little prayer for me as I start this journey, it's going to be hard, but well worth it in the end.
