Sorry I haven't written a post on here in a couple of weeks. I have been busy, busy, busy. Grad school and the reading that comes along with it has started to take over my life. Oh well! I actually really like the stuff that they have us read. Well, half of it anyway. Theories, classroom management, and multiculturalism are some of the things we are reading about now. We are also reading a lot about ethics and the law regarding how a School Counselor should act during ethical dilemmas and that book is scary! Counselors getting sued here and there. Yikes! The book gives examples of real life cases that have happened and I have to admit there are some pretty stupid School Counselors out there making dumb decisions. Know your ethics people! The book gives ethical dilemmas and it lets us think about what we would do in a similar situation then it tells us what might be the right thing to do. I like it.
I finally found out why I needed to create this blog and a twitter account for my multiculturalism class. We are supposed to find an article, something in the news, or just write about something that pertains to multiculturalism and blog about it. It doesn't matter if it's with the schools or not. The twitter account is for sharing our blog to our classmates, our professor, and TA. We blog it then copy the URL as a tweet so others can read it. To get points we then need to read and respond to at least five of each others blogs but we need to respond by using Twitter. Make sense? Seems simple enough. We will start doing that next week so if you some different type of blogs on here that is why.
Ok, now onto something that I really want to blog about. Getting engaged. I just recently saw one of my friends two years younger than me got engaged and she has only been dating the guy a year or so. I have been dating my boyfriend for almost seven years. ALMOST SEVEN YEARS!! We are both 26 years old and I have been patient for a while but my patience is starting to run out. I have seen so many couples (a lot of our friends) start dating, get engaged, and get married all the while we were dating. I am happy for all of them, don't get me wrong. I just want it to be my turn now. We have both talked about it and we have been pretty smart about it. Both of us need to be ready. I told him he couldn't ask me until I was done with my first Masters, which was Feb. of 2012. I wanted to be done with school before planning a wedding began. Well, he started dental school a couple years ago so I think that has put a hold on things. He is a smart guy and likes to think things through. One of our good friends got engaged in January and I talked to him about us getting engaged. He said he wanted to make sure we were in a good spot before getting married. He was worried about him being in debt with dental school and me having to pay back my student loans. He didn't think the timing was right for a wedding anytime soon. I was a little upset but I understood where he was coming from. As time went on more of our friends got engaged, weddings have happened, I have been a bridesmaid five times, I have caught two bouquets, and I started to become more antsy. I started to think, lots of people get engaged or married while they are in school. Most of his dental friends are married or are engaged. Why can't we be? Yes, I just started grad school once again but so what. My professors said a lot of people get engaged in grad school and they have to get used to last names being changed. We could even have a long engagement if he is worried about getting married while being in dental school.
My day will come one day. I just hope that day is soon.
