it's friday afternoon and i'm here at my assistantship with about five minutes of down time. so i'm reading blogs of course. part of reading other people's blogs is inspiring, leading me to think i'd like to update so so much of my site in order to make it a little more...something. it needs something. but not whatever a lot of people have: ads on the sides, photoshopped layouts of outfits and jewelry, or the word gams. really? gams? as in "OMG gotta love those rainbow colored gams for winter!"
anyway, i'm in planning mode. as in seriously turning my vision of moving to new york into a plan. i can't disclose further details yet because there are some logistical things i have to figure out with my professional trajectory before i hammer out the fun things like what neighborhood i'm going to live in or which yoga studio i'll go to in my spare time. (though those are the things i'm really looking forward to).
right now, i'm really working on developing my professional portfolio: master's, educational specialist degree (?), licensure, national certification, comprehensive exams, a five year and ten year plan. yeah, like, big girl stuff. and instead of being intimidated by all of it like i might have been three years (or even three months) ago, i'm finding a sense of empowerment by tackling these components one piece at a time.
today, i also saw my first two clients of the semester. unlike last term, during which i was incredibly undermotivated and underprepared (hello, senioritis), i was more than prepared, focused, and enjoyed meeting my students. i'm taking that as a sign i'm ready for my career. hello, adulthood.
