Day 18. A problem I have

Procrastination. There's really no other choice for this. If my stellar job of skipping days in this challenge are any indication, I'm no stranger to the evil web of procrastination. I really should probably work on it since it affects my stress/sanity levels when I'm in school. But I probably won't...maybe later.

Day 17. Something I'm proud of

so this is actually supposed to be day 19 but I was out of town helping my sister move out of her apartment. So by the time I got back yesterday I was basically the walking dead.

anyway...

something I'm really proud of is my ability to work with animals. Anyone who knows me knows I love animals and that I'm able to get almost anyone's pet to like me. A lot of people in my neighborhood have dogs and the only one I wasn't ever able to pet was my neighbors' husky. I think that's because he was already an elderly dog when they moved here from Tennessee, and he was extremely protective of their kids. But I love spending time with animals and I always found it isn't difficult to work with them if you move at their pace and try to understand their point of view when you're interacting with them.

Scuse the cleavage

But I have a friend...

This is Jasper. The budgie that's clearly a mama's boy and has no shame about snuggling in with me. I love him so much.


That's all :)

Day 16. Something I always wonder "what if" about

I always worry about my chosen major and whether or not I'm going to be able to actually go anywhere with it. One thing about art is that having a successful career in it largely depends on where you went for college. Being at a community college for 2 years won't hurt but there's a good chance I'm going to have to go to VCU when I get my associate's. That's not terrible because they have one of the best art programs. But the school and area doesn't really appeal to it. It's in the city, Richmond is a rather sketchy area and I prefer a smaller school. But if I end up going there I'm just going to try to make a positive experience in it. What I really want to do is work as an art therapist, possibly with people dealing with mental health difficulties. There aren't really any schools in my state that offer that as a major so I could do a double major in Psychology and Art or (what I'm more likely to end up doing) is Major in art and minor in psych. I love both fields but I lean more towards fine arts than science and I don't want to risk the stress of a double major, especially after I tanked with just one during my freshman year. Granted I hated what I was studying but I didn't when I declared my original major. Anyways I know it isn't helpful but I always worry "what if all this studying is worthless in the end. I'll just have wasted thousands of dollars and countless hours on classes and supplies."
