I can’t believe it’s been almost two month’s since I’ve written a post! It’s on my to-do list almost every week and here we are. I’ve been a bit overwhelmed with trying to balance school psychology work with cleaning, kids, cooking, Beautycounter, and all the things. I never thought I could been this busy while barely leaving my house:) While I’m enjoying being back in the school psychologist world and using my brain for something different, it’s also distracting me…
Whew. That was overwhelming. Somehow I went from being an administrative assistant to having major responsibilities in a matter of days. I’m not sure I was mentally prepared for the intensity. Teachers were already stopping by my office for consultation! After six months in a desk job though, I could probably use a challenge, and the day flew by! There’s definitely a lot of energy in the school system. And the people are wonderful!!! I’m excited and scared at the…
Today I’m graduating with a Master’s degree in Applied Educational Psychology and a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study in School Psychology. Normally, I would have been planning my outfit for weeks, but I don’t really have a choice today. I’ll be drowning in a polyester robe and a silly hat. Oh yeah, and a carolina blue hood….not my best color. But, today’s outfit is not really about looks – it’s about what the attire represents. Apparently, the master’s robe…
Headache number two hit this afternoon, but I’m trying to remain upbeat! It was pouring today, so babysitting was a bit of a drag, but, I got to leave about 30 minutes early to attend a graduation reception that my department was hosting. You never know with these things, but there was actually a really good spread of cheeses, fruits, and little bites as well as a strawberry shortcake. I had a little bit of everything, but abstained from alcohol…
Hello friends, I’ve missed you. Between class on Monday and the event last night, I feel like I haven’t written a regular post in a while. I enjoy being busy, but I also love a night on the couch. All three of my supervisors were out of work today, so it was a pretty relaxed day of writing at my internship. I haven’t blogged about work in a while because I’m really in the swing of things and there haven’t…
Hi Friends, Long time no see! Thanks for all the wonderful comments, both on my post about living in the moment and Kath’s tips for taking back the rest of the week! Please excuse me for not responding to comments right away though, as I’m living in the moment here on the west coast! The weather is a little chilly here, but it still felt wonderful to walk around in just a light coat yesterday. I spent most of the…
Dinners have been relatively simple this week. I made a slightly different version of peanut butter pad thai and I liked the sauce much better this time. When I made a pb sauce a few weeks ago, it was chicken-broth based and I just didn’t care for it. This recipe was much more simplistic and made a sweeter, pb-dominated sauce. I used thai rice noodles from TJ’s and a medley of vegetables. One of the best foods in the world…
I was talking to my dad about my blog yesterday and he mentioned that he has been somewhat surprised that I don’t talk more about some of the questions I’m dealing with (re: growing up and figuring out my purpose as a working adult.) I know I’ve been bad about blogging directly about the act of ‘taking back my twenties’, but to be honest with you, it’s because I don’t feel like I’ve made a whole lot of progress (at…
