We have moved! The new house is really nice. It is also a chaos of boxes everywhere. Also, I'm applying to graduate school now for the fall semester, so I don't have lots of time to sort things into their proper places, so it's staying chaotic. Also, I'm going to France in two weeks, so that too. When it rains it pours, though all the rain is good rain.
Yes, graduate school in counseling. I've got plenty of voices nay-saying about it in my own head, but I don't have time to explicate on them today. Honestly, it seems like a really good fit. I work well with people in intimate, one-on-one settings, and I like doing it. I've already tested this and know it. Unlike with being a classroom teacher, which was a bit of an unknown and turned out to be not my cup of tea. In any case, I've still got time to mull it over before I commit, but if I want the opportunity at all, I need to act now and swiftly.
I could theoretically just hang up my shingle and be an uncertified life-coach and teacher of positive values, and if the schooling is part time, which I hope it is, I can still pursue that as I'm getting certified, but the certification has a lot of benefits. I can reach more people and get more useful theory, practice and experience. I can work more places, I can take insurance for some of the things I'm interested in doing, and I can feel confident that I'm working with people in accordance with the best information science has to say on the matter.
In any case, decide later, do now, is the order of the day. And so with that I leave you to go back to my work. Maybe I'll write another of these soon, as this one was for last week.
