18 months is a little over the top...

OK, so I make no promises here. I do really enjoy writing in a blog but somehow I just never get to it.

I live in Ft Luderdale now. I'm going to school for my Ph.D in marriage and family therapy. I look back on the posts and how rough I thought the Masters program was...HA! But I made it through that with flying colors and I'm going to do the same here.

It's beyond incredibly difficult to live without my family. When I moved to Boston I had Brian and my 'northern parents,' here I have no one. Its so hard. I have made friends, some really great people. It just takes time before those relationships develop into something that suffices for family. I think this place has a lot of potential. How could it not? I live 20 minutes from a beach perfectly suitable for postcards that I can visit all year around. My apartment is incredible and I love my school.

I'm going to Nova Southeastern University. It has a very different approach to therapy. Honestly, at first I really wasn't all that aware of that but luckily I'm a 'very different approach to therapy' kinda girl. Its overwhelming at times, especially when I think of having to add a job to all of it. I've been looking for a job here for quite some time with no avail. Even without a job sometimes the work doesn't get done to the best of my ability due to time constraint. Often I think part of that time constraint is ADHD but what are you gonna do?;)

I am hoping to have my first visitor next weekend. I'm really looking forward to it. It gets pretty lonely up on the 8th floor, all by myself. I wouldn't change it. I really am enjoying living alone. It's nice but lonely at the same time. If I had a fabulous friend 10 minutes away I could drop in on it would be perfect. Let's hope for that.

OK so like I said, I make no promises but I'm really going to try to make this a more frequent thing. I think it would be good for me.
