Whew!
Another crazy day is almost over.
I moved into my new place last night. I have 3 roommates now, 2 chicks and one guy. I have my own room and bathroom and the price is just right. Now let’s see how long I can swing this along with my child support and car note and incidentals. I think I have to find another job, the 2 I have aren’t bringing in enough yet. Damn…
Class started last night and all I have to say is– Ahhhhhhhh!
It felt so good to be back in school again. My professor seems a little..uh…weird but I think taking Personality Theories is going to be a most interesting experience as we study the great pyschologists throughout history and how they classified people and their personalities and the evolution of psychology in that area.
I also had my Social & Cultural Issues Class and our first assignment was to write about 3 people that have impacted my life and why. That was a cool assignment.
Being back in school reminds me of my future. It reminds me that I’m a grad student with big plans and I’m getting the knowledge I need to accomplish those plans. Fuck what this looks like- I’m preparing for my greatest future.
It’s funny that before I went to my 2nd class I stopped by the counseling department to see if I could speak with an advisor. There was one professor free so she invited me into her office.
“Hi, I’m Ms. Tee,” I introduced myself. “I have several projects going on and I’d like to talk about my goals for the time I’m here. I finished my first book and I’m trying to get it published. Once it’s published I’d like to set up a workshop based on my book topic here at this university so that I can teach some of the things I’ve written about and expose the students to my book.”
“Sounds good,” The professor said.
“Now…I have other goals. I want to complete one book for each year I’m here. That’s 3 in total by the time I graduate and I also want to publish a research article in a psychology journal. Right now I have no idea how to do that, so that’s why I came in, to discuss my goals and see if anyone could help me.”
The Professor assured me that they would help and asked me to send a brief abstract for my book and she’d meet with the department head to see who to ask to mentor me. I hope this works out well. I’m actually nervous because when people see you dreaming BIG they sometimes don’t want to help unless it benefits them. I hate that.
WHen I walked down to my class and sat down, guess who walked int he door? You got it! The professor I had just been speaking with. That was funny….
Anyway, I’d love to write more but I’m so tired. I may not be able to write this weekend because I’m doing double shifts again.
I’m proud of myself and so are my friends. I am so blessed to know them and to have them in my corner.
~sigh~
I’m tired man.
