FinishYear Week 18


Well, I'm 18 weeks into FinshYear, and I feel like I'm making some very good progress! I fear that soon I won't have much to update on. But, here's where I'm at:


-Finish Master's Degree: Check.
-Finish Health Psych Cert: My Preventive Psych class is officially finished! Did my last online assignment, hit "Send" and had a little celebration because I did not enjoy that class. 

I feel discouraged, though, because I have no idea if I'll be able to finish this goal in 2012 or not. The class that I want to take in order to finish this cert is not being offered until next summer. I CAN finish the cert in the fall by taking a less preferred class. But I REALLY want to take Neuropsychological Assessment. My Master's is finished, my loans are astronomical, and I'm not sure I want to pay over $2,000 for a class I'm not interested in. So, I may wait until next summer to take the last class. That will mean that I do not finish this goal this year, but I might have to be OK with that.

-Finish a letter to Karabo: I mailed his last letter last week and finally learned the rules for mailing letters internationally. For this reason, I feel I now have no excuse not to write to him more frequently.

-Finish a storage/classification system for clients' photographs: This one is on hiatus for now. Not much else to do on it for now.

-Read through the Bible by the end of 2012: Continuing to plug away at this one! I'm halfway through Week 10 of the Bible and we're in Week 18 of 2012, so I'm catching up! Into Deuteronomy now.

So, I'm feeling OK. I'm starting to think that I might need to add some more goals. I had a longer list at the beginning of the year, but factors outside my control have made it such that I have not been able to complete some, while others turned out to not be feasible, and still others have been finished. At this point, I'm really only working on finishing a letter to Karabo once a month and finishing the Bible this year. That's not much fun to read about, is it? HA! So, maybe time to brainstorm some new goals...
