Hey everyone! Sorry that I haven't been posting as much as I would like to be. School has been more stressful this semester than I thought it would be. This much needed week off for reading break was very much needed! So many things happening in my life and trying to figure things out. Had a few meltdowns along the way, full of crying, chocolate and bubble baths. I am incredibly grateful to my new boyfriend that he has been a shoulder to cry on and will listen to me blubbering about everything that is going on. And yes I started dating someone! I met him at the end of August and we went on a few dates, then because of how life was going at that point, decided to just be friends and then in January we decided to take a chance and see where things go! There's never really a perfect time to start a relationship or anything so even though we are both stressed out we are managing. Anyway... back to what I was saying before I went off on a tangent. I have been feeling lately like I am not moving forward toward my goal of becoming a counsellor. This semester of classes oddly enough are more related to being a counsellor as I am taking two psychology courses, but I feel like I am coasting or something. Just not where I should be, but I don't exactly know where I should be. I am working on my admissions requirements and doing what needs to be done. But I am feeling like I am behind in life. Which I don't really know what that means. I know I shouldn't compare myself to other people, but it is hard when a majority of your friends are getting married, having kids, travelling, working etc. I sometimes feel like I took a step back going back to school, but at the same time if I hadn't gone back to school I wouldn't be working towards becoming a counsellor and be stuck in the same place. I love my job and what I do, but I want to be able to do a similar thing but in a different way. Right now I work at a youth treatment centre. It has been an amazing experience and has taught me so much. It's a big reason why I want to become a counsellor. I want to be hands on with children and youth and get to see them grow. I just want to work in a different setting. And to be completely honest, make a little more money. I know this field isn't really one that is lucrative, but it would be nice to not be living pay cheque to pay cheque. I had a mini meltdown today about this same topic while I was out for coffee with my boyfriend. Let's just say this much needed week off hasn't been as restful as I had hoped. Thank goodness I have a trip booked for May!
