In Motion

Welcome back to my blog! I'm continuing my daily thoughts about what life will be like for me throughout the process of my big move to North Carolina. As I left you last I was getting ready to hand in my notice at work. I am always hesitant to actually quit a job because it always seems so final. Once I decide to take that step, I can't take it back and that means I'm really committed to moving forward with my life (ahhh!). Well, I took the plunge anyway and it went as expected, some people played upset and others didn't even bother. Those who didn't bother just reminded me of what a good decision (I hope) I'm making.

Now I'm trying to make a list of all the things I need to accomplish before I leave the state.

1. Get my car inspected (check)
2. Go to the dentist before I lose my insurance
3. Get my prescriptions in line
4. Finish my quilt
5. PACK

and so much more...

What are my plans once I actually get down there you ask?

Well, I'll be shaking up at my brother's house (God love him for making good money and being willing to take care of me for a while). I'm going to take a week or two off to acclimate myself to my new surroundings, maybe explore the area and hopefully not get lost. Then, I'll start looking for jobs and contemplating going back to college.

I have previously looked at Graduate School courses at NC State and found a program there I may be interested in. The program is for higher education counseling. What does that mean? I could work as a college counselor or anywhere in the "student life" section of the college. If I don't make it into graduate school (and I do feel like it's a long shot that I will, actually, get accepted) then, of course, I'll start looking what kind of a career I can attain with my lonely Bachelor's degree.

Stay tuned for my next post and, hopefully, some interesting updates!
