Yep...Still Alive!

Hello all!  It's been quite awhile since I last posted.  So here's a little blurb about what's been going on the past few months...

I finished my second semester of my master's program.  Best part about it?  I currently have a 4.0 GPA!!  (minus an incomplete for a research project I'm still working on)  All I have left is a couple online classes this summer and 3 classes this fall, then I will be done!  I'm so ready to be done with school and move on to being a full-time MT-BC.  Which brings me to my next rant...

I thought I had a job lined up after I graduated.  I was gonna be working in a clinic as a music therapist full-time.  It sounded like a great starter job.  But I learned just the other day that this probably isn't going to happen after all.  There are some timing issues that are messing things up, and the director of the clinic isn't sure that this is the right time to bring in a new therapist.  Sooooo...I'm back to square one.  I have to decide if I'm going to stay in Springfield and do some sessions part-time, find a job somewhere else, or move home.  I would LOVE to get my own MT thing going in the Fayetteville area.  I'm sure there is such a big need for it since there is literally nothing at the moment.  I would just have to figure out how to make that feasibly happen.  Or if anyone has any job opportunities/suggestions for me starting January let me know!  :-P

This summer will be much like the last one.  I'll be back and forth between Springfield and Fayetteville the entire time, but I think more time will be spent in Springfield this year.  Since I'm a big kid now trying to be a respectable MT, I'm still doing sessions, 3-4 a week, so that keeps me here most of the time.  But I'm hoping to make it home at least once a month.  I managed to take about a week and go home for Memorial Day.  This year we decided to have Cheesy-T Family Photo Hour.  Here's one of the better shots:

I know...we're totally cutesies.  I'll be back home again in a couple of weeks to get ready for Super Summer 2011!  I'm going white school this year rather than a staffer.   It's not as big of a time commitment, which is good since I still have to work and take classes.

The weather here has been crazy!  One week it's a brisk 65 degrees every day...next week there's 50 thunder storms and devastating tornadoes...now it's in the mid 90s by 11am.  Ugh!  Makes me want to move to LA or something!

Welp, that's about it for now!  Hope everyone is enjoying the beginning to the summer!  Stay cool!
