I find myself in an interesting situation. I decided to leave my job in May, the office politics and game playing became too silly for words and then they became down right nasty. It finally reached a point that I could no longer put up with the situation. Wade and I discussed it and both agreed it was no longer worth me having to deal with the garbage.
I now find myself in the position of waiting for my next window to open. I usually have one open and waiting for me, but I don't right now. The only decision I have had to make is what to get my Bachelor's degree in. Could that be considered a window? It does lead to the rest of my educational future, so I guess it could be my window.
My next step is a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and then on to my Psychology courses. I am going for a Forensic Psychology degree so I have to have a degree in criminal justice. I am really looking forward to this next step. I spend so much time watching true crime and reading about real cases, I have always been fascinated by crime, forensics in particular. I start my next degree in March, 2014.
So far school has been going very well. I have been able to maintain a 3.67 GPA so far. No grades lower than a B. My favorite class has been Cultural Diversity so far. We had some really fun discussions. I am also really enjoying learning Photoshop, my instructor is pleased with my progress so far.
I have to keep my eyes on where I am now because I know how far I still have to go. In order to be a Forensic Psychologist I have to have my PhD. This seems very daunting when I consider I will graduate in March with my Associates. My Bachelor program will take two years, my Master's another 18 months. I am really looking forward to the challenge.
I know when I get to the end and finish all my testing for licensure I will be the happiest person on earth. I can't wait to start really studying what I am in all of this for - seriously abnormal psychotic people. You know, serial killers, serial rapists. I really want to know what makes them tick. What happens to them to make them what they are.
I am already familiar with many of them, but I want to be able to get up close and personal and interview them. Spend time and talk to them and get inside their brains and really try to understand them, if that is possible.
I guess the only other window I need now would be a job so I can help take some of the load off of Wade's shoulders. If I could ask God for anything, it would be that. Help me find a job so I can take some of the stress off of Wade's shoulders. I have an educational window, now I need a professional window if it please God.
Thank you for sticking with me my faithful readers,
Beautiful Bloggable Me
