Well it's been an eventful few weeks. I finished classes, wrote my final papers, annotated my last case studies, dog sat for a friend for a few days, got into a minor car accident, welcomed my family into town oh yeah and I got hooded! I am officially Brittany Anderson, MSW (master of social work for those of you that don't know that acronym stands for).
It's a weird feeling knowing that school will no longer be the focus of my life and that I will be considered a professional from now on rather than a student. I've basically been focused on school since I was 2. I've been preparing for this time in my life, the time when I will begin my first real world job (No I don't consider my fast food jobs real world jobs to be honest) and really start establishing my own life which includes putting the majority of my money into bills rather than going to the movies or doing other fun things (not that I haven't done that in the past but I'm sure you catch my drift).
I haven't found a job but God is faithful and I'm putting all my trust in him because he has never failed me and I know he won't fail me now. But, I'll admit that the anxiety that comes with not knowing what's going to come next and worrying about money is overwhelming and it's satan's way of trying to get me to give into temptation and move back home or work at Wendy's (Wendy's is just not a good environment for me and I see now that I was turning my back on God during those days because I just wanted to fit in with the staff and that's not good for my personal, professional, or spiritual life). So I'm fulfilling my life with things that are pleasing to God including reading, listening to music, and even when I'm applying for jobs I always pray that God will show me if this is a job that I should pursue.
So that's pretty much my life right now. I've spent this week after graduation savoring the moment and let it sink in because it's still hard to believe that I have my masters degree and it deserves to be celebrated because no one ever thought I could make it this far and it's been great to overcome such a huge obstacle and overcome it well (I got high passes in 9 out of 10 of my classes!).
Now here are some pictures from this past weekend for you to enjoy
