Back for More!

Well, my commitment for this blogging site still needs work. I am afraid I have to make it a habit for it to become natural to do. There is so much I want to put on here, but I have to keep it somewhat public. Anyone can really find this if they want, so I am considering this a general mind saver.

So let's see, therapy has been working well, but last week was hard. Well, really, it was worse than hard, it was terrible. I have no desire to remember any of that. I mean, in the grand scheme of abusive relationships, it was probably mild. I never got hit with a bat, run over by a car, pushed down stairs, broken a bone, or ended up in ER due to his aggression. But it was still bad for ME! I keep comparing past situation to others and I feel like I was a wimp. A cry baby who sounds like she is saying "poor pitiful me". Blah Blah. So, from this point on, it is about my skeletons in the closet, no one else's skeletons, just mine. Just in time for spring cleaning!!


On the work front, I have been working very hard with this book program, but having lots of obstacles that prevent a smooth operation. This part-time issue is the primary problem. There just isn't enough time in the day to do what needs to be done. Then I get new projects because of the accreditation stuff and I still haven't got mastery of the book ordering. I just need to get a database program or something to help with the book search. If I just knew what books I was looking for for each student, I think things would go faster. I love the work though. I think it is great to work in a college and to see how the teachers do things. I have one that I love to talk to and she teaches criminal justice for the school. She teaches and advises and I think that is a cool combination of professions.

My masters program is going ok, but I am still disatisfied with the classes themselves. They just don't feel like what I want. I want to talk about how to help adult learners at the post-secondary level. I don't think any class had helped me with this yet!!!! VERY FRUSTRATING!
I am thinking of visiting UNC in Greeley this Thursday (since Joe has to work) and talking to an advisor about their High Ed master's program. Darn, I still need to do my FASFA today so I can register for my next classes (where ever they might be). Oh and guess what, I met this recruiter promoting a New York College at CCA the other day. OMG! They had a Harry Potter Magical Literature class that can be done online!!! WOW! I so want to take that. Its about $600 and may not start again until next fall.

I am still working on my book using the HP books as reference materials. I might develop a blog site that contains my notes and a reference block so everyone knows where my info is being sourced from. The only problem is that it would be online, and someone could find it. Maybe I could make it secret or hidden or something like that. I thinking typing would be better as I do it better. HMM.. I'll think about it. Chat later.

I am finally a blogger!

Hello to the World Wide Web! I have finally decided to develop my own blogging site to see if this well help my anxiety problems. I am a teacher who is very busy; I have a husband and a daughter, as well as two dogs. I am working two jobs, do private tutoring, and am working on my master's degree. Stress??? What stress???


Needless to say I have some things to work on. I suffered a pretty bad attack that had me going to the hospital via ambulance. The irony is that my attack was about finances. Yep great, huh, now I am going to have a huge ER bill to contend with in about a month. It just keeps getting better and better. I intend to use this site as my journal recommended by my therapist. I have a paper one, but that is good for more private revelations.

Well, it is good to get the intro out of the way. I will be on again soon.
