Today's prompt is "What's on your wish list?" I want to go on a cruise to Alaska.
It is now 0541 and I have been up for awhile now. Yesterday I applied to a Masters Degree program with Capella University. I have been thinking about it for the past few days. I don't know where the motivation to go back to school came from, but here I am. I completed my FAFSA, and began looking to see where I might be able to complete my Masters Degree successfully and follow up with a phD. The program I applied for is named " Applied Behavior Analysis with specialty in Autism Spectrum Disorder." I would follow up with a Doctorate in Psychology. I just feel right with this program. It would only take one and a half years to complete the Masters Degree, but would cost about $30,000.00. I do not know how to go about paying for my education. I only have 3 months of the Post 9/11 GI Bill left. I have contacted the VocRehab lady I have been working with to be reconsidered to have my education paid for. I was able to apply with my application fee waived. I will get a referral credit for mentioning Dona Sharon as a student to the enrollment officer. I will get a new student scholarship of about $2,500.00. I will not be eligible for federal grants because they are for undergraduate programs. I will be eligible for federal student loans, I think. I am not sure because I had my loans forgiven in 2015 from attending UNCW.
In other news, Billy A. Johnson-Honey, Caleb's distant cousin, called me yesterday. I have asked him to help me get Jamie McCurry's phone number and address. He called me to let me know that grandma is getting involved, and wants to help figure this whole thing out. Billy talked to Caleb. We were in the car, and I was driving to Walmart. Billy said "You look like your daddy!" LOL "Hey cousin!" Caleb didn't really know how to react, but he was happy with what Billy told him about his grandma wanting to meet him.
It is Saturday morning, and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is playing in the living room. I had the hardest time yesterday while I was searching online for the Fantastic Beasts books collection. Amazon did not have what I was searching for, and I find that extremely odd. I had to go to multiple bookstore websites to finally find what I wanted at Books-A-Million.
Soooo, yeah. Yesterday I spoke with an enrollment counselor at Capella University, and that led me to apply for admission. Yesterday morning I wrote in my new journal all the things I want for my life in bullet statements. One of them was to complete my phD. Another one was to write books and have them published. I want to write about my experiences in a way that is helpful to other people. I have decided that I should complete the psychological evaluation that I am not yet scheduled for first. I need to have a proper updated diagnosis, which I am sure will include an Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis.
I had to order more crystals to be able to complete my crystal grid as prescribed by Melissa Habibi at the Magdalene Rose Temple, who I am taking classes from. That is where I am getting my Rose Priestess certification from. It involves alot of inner work, and so I am taking my time, and not rushing through it.
Recently there was an elementary school shooting. It makes me think of the "trench coat mafia" from when I was school, and bomb threats to schools were happening. I am glad Caleb is not going to public school. My heart goes to everyone affected by the tragedy. Laws need to change to prevent this from happening again, but I am not the only one saying this.
I don't know what I will do today. Memorial Day is Monday. I need to take a shower for sure. The laundry needs to keep going. I have dishes to wash still. The Splash Pad is now open as of yesterday. It rained yesterday, so I did not take the kids there like I wanted to. I am still thinking about getting a pool membership so I can do my physical therapy.
Well, I just got news that my friend I met at the VA, who has pitbull mix puppies for adoption, is going to waive my fee! I might be getting a puppy today! I am so excited! Caleb and I are going to bring Bella out to her farm to see how she gets along with the boys. Now, I really have to take a shower!
