OMG..I FORGOT ABOUT FASHION

Ok so while blogging about my new job, i just realized now I can do what I loved the most.... dressing up professionally and taking pictures. Now I have a venue to show case them..... Yippie. Every day before Internship I had a photo shoot.
I'm not the typical slacks and blouse chik. In my profession some feel as a therapist they need to dress boring... psh NOT I. I love to keep it exciting and professional. So I can't wait to go shopping (once i get paid a few times lol) and put different things together.

Definitely an upside to all this lololol. JK

The Verdict is.....

So I heard back from the Kissimmee job and I'll start on the 28th as an Adult Senior Counselor helping those recovering from substance abuse. I'm nervous working with a population that I haven't before, but excited to learn new things. I'm worried that the hours won't count towards my MFT licensure, so I need to find that out ASAP. See when I applied, it said family and youth, but then it seems to only be adults. But I interviewed anyway because I mean at this moment I can't be picky you know.

Now the Tampa job that focuses on going into at-risk family’s homes is soooo down my alley and I could learn so much. I had my 3rd interview on Thursday and it was full of clinical scenarios that I felt very good about. Just made me want to work there more. They want me to do a ride along... I don't know when I can do that, when I don't come back till the 25th and they closed on the 26th and I start the other job on the 28th... Too much going on. I like this job because it pays 2000 a yr. more and I automatically will get a 3000 raise every 6 months for 2 years. They pay for licensure. The only thing is, it's in Tampa and while the hubby is on board to move, we would need a place to stay and find him another job ASAP or else we would essentially be in the same boat we are in now with one income.

I'm starting to think maybe I can talk with the director and see if maybe I can start later than Jan 3. Maybe I can try it again in early summer. It's sad because it seems it would be great and I know the Tampa job is more work: 24hr on call on weekdays, driving as far as 80 miles to visit homes (they reimburse me for it). Court cases etc.

So I think what is best for my family is to remain here and gain a new professional facet. I think it'll be interesting, stressful, overwhelming and great all at once. Hopefully the Tampa job can work something out. If not then it wasn't meant to be. I just hope I’m not mistakenly going left when I should be going right on what God has planned for me.

Time will tell.....

New Job...Yay????

So yesterday I got the call back from this one place I had applied, interviewed and turned paperwork in for around the beginning of OCT.
Ugh, they want me to start training next week.... What's the problem you ask, well I'll be out of the country for a week with my family. Apparently they only do training once a month 0_o. So they ask, "well can you start this week?" I'm thinking but you just said you only do it once a month soooooooooo how is this possible? Instead I asked if I could return her call tomorrow, so I could have time to figure out some things. She then responds, "Oh is there another job you need to get time off from?" To myself I'm thinking well if that were the case that would be very difficult since you all are calling very last minute.
Anyway.....To myself I'm thinking how can I possibly start this week. I have doctors appts that I need to take Rayna to before we go on vacation since she's been complaining about certain ailments.

Well, I called back today and asked if I could start afterwards....so we'll see.

I don't understand why things are always difficult for me. This is almost the same thing that happened in Gainesville after I graduated and obtained full-time employment. Everything always seems so difficult for me, like there is always a catch, situation or issue. Why can't I just ease into the job and rejoice about my new employment?
I know He has a plan and maybe it's not meant for me to have this job but having two incomes would be great to start the new year.

Oh and I forgot to mention there is also this possibility about this gaining employment in Tampa in January, I have my final phone interview thursday morning. That means relocating...another not so ease slide into employment. lol

Welp, it's in His hands and I trust His decision.

It's been a minute

So I've decided to pursue a PhD in Health Psychology. Classes are going well right now. Of course it's only the beginning... the research aspect still scares me a bit. But hey the dissertation doesn't anymore. One time for progress lol. It’s funny how Facebook, of all places, helped me decide this by having a conversation about childhood obesity with a two friends. I’m hoping to incorporate health concerns and family/couples counseling.

I have so many things that interest. Who says I can only attack one. 

My cousin and I have been talking about an online cupcake business for a year now. We finally created a blog (still in the beg stages) and a Facebook page for. Two times for progress lol. 

Check us out: Tasty Cravings

I’m going to really try and post more often, can’t expect to obtain followers if I’m not saying anything.

?Donde Esta Mi Trabajo?

Seriously… why does it seem as if everyone is working except me? I mean I know that isn’t the case (after many phone calls and social networking sites stating my fellow cohorts are still looking), but it definitely feels as if I’m being black-balled. I just want to improve the minds of couples and individuals. Then I think well maybe God is waiting for me to finally register my practice… since I keep prolonging that aspect of it. I mean I have business cards, savings acct and a website…what am I waiting for… right?! I’m scared (but don’t tell anyone), failure doesn’t smooth over well with me and so I’m always thinking about the best way to go about doing this. What that means is, I’m analyzing it to the fullest degree and then analyzing that. Welp! By the end of September I will have registered something and it’s in God’s hands from there. 

Wish me luck!

Seriously hire me...AHORA!

I'm so ready to start working and just starting contributing to my family's income. My friend and I met on Monday to discuss life after graduation and it's like we don't qualify for certain jobs because of our Master's degree (publix, target etc) yet we aren't getting the other jobs because they want more experience or simply because it's so many of us applying to the same places... SUCKS!

So I'm applying back home where the pay is better. I mean I know I've only been out of school for one month now but still I WANNA USE MY DEGREE ASAP.

In the mean time I'll continue to read my books, search everyday for new positions I didn't already apply to and enjoy my freedom before I begin working and going back to school for my Ph.D

Bittersweet...
