A silver toothbrush and a red silk dress

I realized that it has been a while since I wrote an actual post, not just reposted something else or filled out a survey. There are a few things I could update about including, but not limited to: the holiday break, this past weekend, and my future. However, none of these things interests me to write about in full, so I will briefly touch on all three.

Firstly, the holiday break was not only much needed but also wonderful. I had a fabulous time with family and friends and it really made me homesick for Bakersfield. I never thought that would happen.

Which leads me to the decision I have come to regarding my future. As of now, it looks like I will be moving home to Bakersfield at the end of the summer/beginning of fall to start a master's program at CSUB. I will be (hopefully) getting my MS in Couseling/Psychology and my license for Marriage and Family Therapy. Ideally, I want to work in conjunction with CBCC (Comprehensive Blood and Cancer Center) doing individual counseling for family members of cancer patients, caretakers, and cancer patients. Though there are a lot of group therapy options in Bakersfield for this, but there aren't many options for individual counseling. So, we'll see.

And finally, I had a great, relaxing weekend. I really needed it, too, because last week was a little intense emotionally. All weekend, I basically did nothing except watch movies and sleep. I did manage to get out of my house and see DREAMGIRLS on Saturday, which I highly reccommend. It was amazing. Great music, acting, story, and costumes. I really enjoyed it and I had really high expectations. To be honest, it didn't exactly meet my expectations, but it didn't disappoint me, either. Other than that, Chris, Nat and I hung out and ate. Good times all around.

Well, that's about it for now. If I get inspired later this week, I may post something slightly more interesting. We'll see. :) I hope everyone has a great Monday!
