Since I have gotten quite a few questions about what in the world I am doing this semester, I thought I would share about it on here. As far as school goes, I did receive my master's this semester. However, I now need 30 more hours of course work before I can sit for the state licensure. Why do I need state licensure? Well, if I decide not to go on to get my PhD, then I need the licensure for job opportunities and to counsel autonomously. I also agreed to be in school for a full year when I accepted my graduate assistantship. So, I will be taking 11 hours of coursework this semester. I am taking three actual classes and a few hours of research and 1 hour of counseling to do trauma counseling.
As far as work goes, I will still be working at my assistantship in federal relations. I have officially moved up to the assessment office at the mental health hospital where I work. So that means that I get to work half the hours and get paid double what I was...I am very excited about that change.:-)

Good news about the GRE. So I retook the stinkin' thing. I was not looking forward to it, but I did study intensively a week this time and was able to bring up my scores significantly. Much more that what I was expecting. It was God's miracle for me this year.:-) It totally was an answered prayer. I still do not like the test, but at least I won't be scared that my score is the single thing knocking me out. Now I am playing the waiting game with the schools and keeping my fingers crossed hoping that I will get interviews. Anyways, that is the update on my life. Have a great week.
