Disney's Fun - But Not My Kinda Fun!

I didn't write anything yesterday and I'm ok with that =D
But I thought of writing something while I was off to Lala Land and this morning when I woke up, you guessed it, I forgot. Bummer. I should keep a notebook and my light up pen next to my bed.

I have class tonight. Well, everyday I have class; but today, I am actually going to class cause my spring break is over. Boo hoo hoo.

It was a restful break. Lots of lounging and watching CSI and Forensic Files and Cold Case Files. I love those shows. Now, besides CSI, that's my idea of reality TV. Peoples lives turned upside down. That's not why I enjoy it. I enjoy it because of a long time dream of mine to either be a police officer, detective, crime lab - lab rat, or a crime scene investigator.

I fell in love with this type of work back in junior high with Ted Bundy. What an absolute intreguing case. He was definately a mad man, but a very convincing one to say the least. Did you know he had a rotting corpse in his closet because he hadn't had time to dispose of it. Three or four days it was there and when his girlfriend would come over, she actually believed that it was rotting meat in his fridge that he had just thrown away. Love is blind. Or is that just dumb love? Who knows.

When I graduated from high school, I went into psychology because, now I don't tell many people this, but I wanted to be a forensic psychiatrist. I also thought about becoming a profiler. But then I started to love biology and chemistry more than psychology ( I think it had more to do with my professors than anything). My biology prof used to crack me up, my chemistry prof was a tiny little german woman and my chemistry tutor was a babe. Woohoo, so I changed my major. And graduated Sigma Cum Laude. Yeah! Transfered to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and conitnued my biology degree.

I had an interview with the Albany Crime Lab and dropped out of the running because I would have had to work the graveyard shift. Without a car and taking a bus from downtown Troy to downtown Albany was like saying, "Yes, please I would like to be shot at point blank range. I don't mind, really." NO thanks!

Then I moved to Orlando and worked for Disney. Woop dee doo da day! How exciting, I can barely contain my enthusiasm as I write these words ....

I never forgot about my dream of working with "mad men" though. And mad ladies, too, but not as much. I am so captivated and intrigued by the mentallity of crime and what makes a person do what they do! It gets me so excited ... more than Disney!

So, now I am in the master's program for counseling pych at PBA. I have three interests, one is working with pastor's and their families; another is working with parents who have children that have been through trama, like abandonment, foster care, adoption and the like; and lastly, I would like to become a forensic psychologist or a profiler. Still. I am so excited thinking about it right now.

I am just praying that God would lead me to where he wants me to be. I do believe that he wants to give us our dreams because he is the one who gave them to us to begin with. Read the Dream Giver by Bruce Wilkinson - Awesome book! I need to surrender my desires and dreams to him and allow him to work through me and my dreams.

I have always been told to do what I love doing. That way, I won't ever get bored. Well, I loved Biology and working in the lab ... I got bored within 6 months. I loved Chemistry and working in the lab ... I got bored after about 3 months. But you know what I have never grown weary or bored of .... people and their psychosis. What makes them tick. I am always trying to figure that out. Sometimes I can't, but it gives me great energy thinking about it and processing it all.

Lead on, God. I will honor you in whatever career you bestow upon me; however, I would really like something I won't get bored with, pretty please. With sugar on top ... and maybe some rum raisin ice cream so I can try it while I wait. =D

Happy reading!
Happy Day!
And don't forget
that come what may
always look up
and always pray!
