tracythomp - Things are good

I have not posted in a while but things are still going well here in good ol nashville tennessee. I am still really enjoying my job. I have learned a lot about intensive therapy with adolescents. The hard thing about the time of day that I work is that I am in school with the kids for most of the day. I only really get an hour or two to do some counseling. I would really like to go to evening shift because I would feel like I am able to have more interaction with the kids, the problem is that Adam works day shift so I would see less of him. So I have picked up more weekend days because this is also a time when I can do more counseling. The longer I am in this field and the more I learn the more confirmation I have that I am in the right field. This job makes me happy. These kids make me happy. They get very angry and they do a lot of stupid things and make some pretty bad decisions but they are so impressionable and they are still able to make good choices. I really feel like I would like to get my official Masters degree in either School counseling or Counseling Psychology. School Counseling is my first choice but the program that I really want to get into is at Western Michigan University. I could possibly go back to MTSU and continue but getting my degree in TN when I want to settle in Michigan doesn't make much sense to me. We discovered that Trevecca has a POST BACH program where, if you have a bachelors degree you can continue and get a degree in education by taking just a few more classes. He is thinking of doing that. We don't know... we are still confused. We know what we want we just don't know exactly the best way to get it. We are both so impulsive sometimes, which i suppose just shows how young we still are. We are seeking God and trying to find the answer. We really are not miserable by any stretch here in tennessee, but neither of us feel "at home". Any way that is the update here. thanks for reading.....
