8 Dec 2009

My apologies! Has it really been that long since I've updated my blog? Darn that FaceBook! Well let's see...Peiling is gone. She left in October. We really tried to make it work, but since Pei left my house has returned to being my home.

The month of November left us with some sad news. Three days before Thanksgiving I was laid off from my job as a high school library clerk due to government budget cuts. Happy Holidays?!

So after a lot of stressful decision making I have decided to return to school. The question was...to be what? I love to help people and thought about going into the medical field or becoming a teacher. I talked to friends of mine who are in those profession or started out in those areas.

First I researched being a nurse- I have a love helping and mothering people. However after discussing some of the requirements of nursing it pains me to have to accept the fact that I am not cut out for that line of work. A big thanks to my good friend Laura for helping me make this decision!

Second I researched becoming a teacher- bottom line...education is taking a beating right now, so I could graduate and have no job prospects....not exactly an option!

So....drum roll please! I have decided to major in foreign language and minor in communications. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. It's nice to have a plan, it takes the stress and guess work out of our day and with the trivial items set aside it leaves us more time to enjoy the beautiful things in life.
