David Bowie rocks my world

I did some research on schools and degree programs for becoming a counselor today, past my certification. It looks like I am going to be in school for at least the next decade. With the goal of reaching licensure anyway. I found one advanced masters and licensure program for duel substance abuse and marriage and therapy counseling. I have to have a bachelors before I apply but it seems like it will be the most ideal program to shoot for. I am very excited but if I think about it too much I get overwhelmed. I am relieved that now that my id theft situation is resolved I will be able to apply for loans for all this schooling. I am aware that I am probably going to sink myself into some serious debt with all the schooling I plan to go through but I also figure I never really planned on being well off, obtaining these degrees, and having a truly meaningful career I enjoy will be worth living meagerly. The most important things in life for me are:

Education
Companionship
Being close to my Dad, Sis, and Cousin
Being close to the friends that matter
Writing
Hiking/Being physically active and exploring the country & world

Having a ton of money isn't on that list so I should be ok. As long as I have enough money to eat all natural organic food I am fine, I can skip clothes, accessories, and salon hair cuts. :-)

It's so easy to fall in love, its so easy to fall in love said buddy holly and that was before the plane crash

It is a snow storm outside. Not really quite the snow storm the television newscasts and word of mouth anticipated but it will due. No class today and no work, woot!



I have a new apartment, it's perfect. It is private, and warm, and cozy, and big, and has my favorite person in the world in it living with me, Luc. Or I should say I am the one living with him. He pays most of the bills. We have a very traditional relationship....ha. Nah, I am just too busy getting my second degree to be bothered with a full time job. Still working at GNC. Never would have thought. Now I just need to have a baby! Jusssst kidding!

I am ridiculously happy and ridiculously in love. Right now I am simply just too excited for him to come home from work (any minute now) so I am killing time writing this un-amusing entry.

I decided I am going to try keeping up with this more regularly, and make it more personal. OH! He's home, time to shower him with kisses!

I have these days where I don’t get out of bed, where I catch a fit of depression and let it settle in my soul, let it sow itself into my limbs, and fasten a tight rope around my mind. I write a little, read a bit, and mostly sleep. Sleep and dream, sleep and dream, and sleep and dream some more.
