The Hopewell House

So guys,

I have some exciting news tonight.

{No, Mom, I'm not pregnant}

I've started up my Master's program again!

I have been so burnt out on school for the last couple of years that I've had a hard time figuring out what to do next. No body told me after graduation that I really should have a game plan; everyone said you have to have your Master's to work in the Psychology field but nobody told me what kind of direction I needed to take. No body told me that as a Psych student your options for a field of study are ridiculous. No body told me how much time you really need to be able to truly focus on your studies. 

Ah.

 No wonder when I first started out on grad school after 3 years on my Bachelor's program I had a break down. So for the last couple of years I just took a break. I didn't think about school. I didn't think about homework. I didn't think about studies. 

It was nice for awhile, but I just haven't really felt complete.

For awhile I contemplated being a counselor.

I thought about being a teacher.

I pondered what it would be like to be a business student.

I thought about what it would be like to be a hippie.

Finally, it all just clicked.

I decided to follow the thing I've wanted to do:

I am going back to school to pursue my Masters of Science in Forensic Psychology!

I've always wanted to work in a police environment-

In fact at one time I started going to school for criminal justice

{I thank my Dad for this desire: He's been working with the police department for most of my life}

But I never could figure out my niche.

But I love analyzing people, I love studying human behavior, and gore doesn't bother me.

I think I've found my niche.

{Check back in 2 years}

So now friends,

I must leave you tonight to start on some homework--

Hollar back y'all.
