At the moment, doing another undergrad degree in religious studies. But I'm *hoping* to be accepted into college for September 2010 to do a college diploma. I want to be accepted into the Social Service Worker program, which is like a Masters of Social Work, but WAY easier to do, way easier to be accepted into, and less likely to burn out in the real world (social workers burn out really quickly). Downside is a lot more paperwork and less money... but maybe less stress too!!

I am so sorry I can't add some flowers for you! I don't know how to do it. therefore all I could hope is that you'll imagine them! What would you like for your graduation? :-) : hug :

I've been in school five years for this three year degree. I was originally in a 4 yr degree but had to drop down because of my grades.
I've also got a couple of learning disabilities, so have been going with part-time to just barely full-time school studies. I can't manage 5 courses per semester, so I register for only 2-3.
If I finish this second degree, it should take me about another 2-3 years.

Honestly, it's still all... surreal. I wasn't ever expected to make it this far. I'm actually upset because the entire day seemed... rather... normal? Which is weird. Not sure why.

Sorta responded to billieJ above answering this briefly, but I really want to be in a job helping people.
I don't care if this is in social services, human resources, teaching or counselling... I just want to help others. At the moment, leaning toward working in the government (pays well, likely to hire me since I'm a disabled woman, etc) but who knows for how long. I really think I'd love being a teacher, but the teaching profession has too many qualified people right now and not enough jobs for what I want to do (elementary school). But maybe in the future... I was told I'd make a good therapist, but not even considering that right now since that requires me to go for my Masters (I NEED A SCHOOL BREAK) and requires me to be sane.
And I'm still working through a lot of my own crap and I think that's more important right now.
