Another Good Day

I must say, Colby would be very proud of me if he were here, I just worked out! I've never met anyone who was into a healthy lifestyle as much as Colby, and I'm grateful for it for sure! I don't really need to lose weight, but I would love to tone up, and with Colby working out everyday it gives me the motivation I need. I already cook healthy so this is all I am lacking. If he is going to get back into great shape, I need to get into great shape too so we can be an even better lookin' couple! (Said in a joking manner, I'm really not that conceited).

I've been thinking alot about my future today. Not my marriage and family future, but my career future. One of the goals any person with a Psychology degree has is to get something published. A few months ago I wouldn't have cared if any research I did got published, but the more I think about it and learn about research (there is a class that devotes the whole semester to learning how to conduct research and become a critical thinker..never realized how much goes into research papers!) the more I desire to get something published. I believe the field I will go into is marriage and family studies and I hope to do my senior thesis on a correlation between having children at a young age and later success/happiness. I'm just afraid 1) there wont already be enough research to base my hypothesis on 2) the research wont be valuable to a persons understanding or 3) unnecessary duplication. I honestly don't even need to be worrying about this right now, because I don't have to turn in my research proposal until the end of April, I JUST WISH I KNEW!

I know for sure I want to be a therapist, but now I have a new interest-research! Sounds really boring, and it kind of is, but I love learning about the psyche. Maybe I can be a therapist, university professor, and do research on the side. Sounds like a plan to me. Now I just need there to be ten more hours added to each day to make this easy to accomplish. Maybe since the Earth's tilt shifted or whatever causing the astrological signs to change some brainiac will announce the hours in a day are different and everyone will believe him. Sarcasm intended.
