Well, I know it's been a while since I've posted. I started school on line in Aug. I got an A in one class and am waiting for another final grade. Meanwhile, I've started 2 other classes. That alone has kept me busy. A couple of weeks ago, I was asked to be a peer volunteer at my clinic, so I had my very first "official" job interview and started my training last week. I go in 3 mornings a week, do a little training and observe some groups the other peers run. At some point, I'll help run the groups and maybe even start one of my own. Hopefully, this will lead to a part time paying job. This is a whole new world to me, and a new way of life. I'll admit, I'm a bit overwhelmed at times, but I'm sure to take care of myself. I'll try to peek in when I can. Just wanted to share some good news. busy me :) busy me :)

Congratulations! And welcome back!!!!

That will be cool for you to do the training and then be able to run some groups of your own...Being overwhelmed is easier if you try to take it one step at a time.

Congrats!

frogysgirl, sounds like you are doing well. I took a volunteer job that turned into a part time paying job--it has been wonderful. And it is something I truly enjoy. Good luck. Don't let yourself get overwhelmed with school and work...
