Good Morning

I woke up this morning feeling like a new person. I have gotten the ball rolling and switched my major from an associates in medical transcription to a bachelors in psychology, specializing in applied behavioral analysis. (Much more impressive, eh?) I am really happy I decided to do this. Medical transcription was just a waste of my time, I could have passed but it would not have made me happy at all. I want to make a difference in the lives of others. My goal is actually to make it through this with a 4.0 (or as close to it as possible) and then try and get scholarships to go to a real college and get my PhD in the field. Having someone pay me 300 bucks an hour to listen to them speak would make all the schooling worth it, and in turn the school would pay for itself. But I will have a bachelors degree before I turn 30 and for now that is making me glow. Everyone I know that sees me keeps telling me I look different. My hair is getting long and I keep getting compliments on it and when I take my glasses off people are telling me I should get contacts cause I have such a pretty face... between clams departure and being in school where I belong I am exuding happiness, and neighbors and friends have been taking notice!

Also I am so happy at my job. I have worked in retail/restaurant business for as long as I can remember, and I work hard. But until I found this liquor store I have never been appreciated or rewarded for my work. My work just gave me a dollar raise and I am getting keys to the store- Soon I will be responsible for opening and closing the store on Sundays. Its just nice that they trust me enough to do it and they depend on me, I was training new people all week. One guy was 53 and never saw a cash register before and the other a young man (my age) who knew what he was doing. Luckily I think the second will be with me on Sunday's *praises the lord* the other guy wont be with us for long (but that is my opinion) The guy my age isn't like drop dead gorgeous (def can't hold a candle to my Shawn) but he is funny and has endearing qualities about him. But as the saying goes- don't stick your pen in the company ink, I should keep it professional... its just been too long since I was last with a man (about two years now) and some contact with the other sex would be nice... and he happens to be a single male in my age range who isn't a regular customer or a big drinker at all, and as I said funny (humor is the biggest turn on to me). I doubt he has any interest in me, but I'm one of those girls that grows on you *wink wink* if it will be me and him on Sundays something could develop, I certainly would like it to... I am just rambling now so I will end it here.

I haven't been so content in a very long time. I am just that, content! Life feels so nice without the stresses I once faced. I am in just the best place possible right now, and I am proud of myself for changing my path. I wish you all the best, and I must say thank you to professor Tolen, without your project I may have realized I was in the wrong area of study- too late. That's all for now, have a nice week! =^)
