Now that I have finished all coursework and requirements for grad school, I get to sit around and wait to find out my final grade.
I will be earning my Masters in Applied Behavioral Analysis hopefully within the next week.
The next step in my professional/educational development will be to sit for and pass the BCBA exam.
Over the next few weeks, I will start reading through the application process and see what is expected of me. I will start saving money towards the costly application fee and officially add it to my 43things list.

So, it has been 15 MONTHS since i have purchased a pack of cigarettes, but when I see my smoking friends on the weekends, I find a way to justify it being ok that i have a smoke or two or three or four or five with them. The first 10 months I was doing fabulous, only having a handful of smokes…but life stress has gotten to me ( graduate school melt down, heart broken, work stress, etc.) and the occasional smoke has increased.
I do know I need to find a replacement behavior so I can do something else instead of smoking a cigarette when I am stressed out or mad and I am working on it. Overall, I am super proud of myself. This is one time when I don’t mind being a quitter. I can do this.

...and I quote the lovely Sarah Silverman to get my point across…
i’ve failed at heterosexuality
i’ve failed at homosexuality
i guess i have to stop thinking that the right person is just going to come along, you know
i have to be the right person
i have to come along
i’m a me-mo-sexual

Basically, this is where I am at. This time it is going to be about me. The time is now. I am on my way to being 32 years old and I have never put myself first. I have never done anything for myself. Now it is my turn. Completing graduate school this summer, getting my health under control, not putting up with anyone elses bullshit if they are not going to treat me with kindness. I need good things to happen in my life. I need to allow good things to happen. I need to live, not exist.
