Ok, the biggest news first. I've quit my job to go back to school. Again. Friday is officially my last day to be employed by Lubbock Christian University, the beloved Alma Mater. I can't say that I am sad. I love LCU, but working in an extremely unhealthy office environment, is difficult no matter where it is. A weight has been lifted.
I'm pursuing a Masters in Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington. I'm very excited. It is a great program and I can't wait to get started. I can hear you all asking, "When do you move, where are you gonna live?" Well...I'm not moving. I'm commuting. HAHA. All my classes are on Mondays so I'll drive up Sunday night, go to class from 9am to 9pm on Monday, and drive home. Crazy? Probably, but I've left Rachel once before and it did not turn out so well!! So I'll be spending a lot of gas money, but it's worth it.
That being said, I'm looking for a new job. I would like to find something that 1. would be flexible enough to work around my school, 2. would be something in the social service field, and 3. would pay decent. I don't want to have to live off loans if I don't have to. So if any of you out there know of anything like that in the Lubbock area, let me know! I'm thinking Children's Home or Communities in Schools, or something. I'm very flexible!!
Let's see...what else...OH!! SOCCER!! I've put together an indoor soccer team again. It is a random group of guys, but we're actually pretty decent. Especially when you consider that some of these guys have NEVER played soccer and the rest of us haven't played in a few years. We are in the last (worst) group, but we're kicking butt. We'll have to move up next season, but that will be ok. Here is a little taste of what the experience is like.
I've been told it is quite a spectacle and a joy to watch!!
Well, maybe I should end now, I have to go look for a job. More to come later!
