Something really exciting happened last week! I got a phone call from Dr. Hollist at UNL. He left me a message saying he had something to chat with me about and that i needed to call him. When i heard the message i was so nervous that it took me a couple hours to call him back... i was working with my boys as well so it wouldn't have been a quiet time to call either. I am still not too sure why i was so nervous... anyway when i finally had some time and courage to call him he answered and offered a spot in the MFT program!!!! Even though i knew what he would be telling me i was still in shock about it and asked him to give me till that evening to give him a solid answer... I DON"T KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING! i guess i wasn't. Well later that night this is the email i sent to him: "Dr. Hollist, I would love to come and be part of the MFT program at UNL. Thank you so much for the opportunity; I can't wait to get started! Any additional information about signing up for classes and such would be great when the time is right. Also, keep me posted on assistant-ship info. Some financial help would be wonderful, however receiving my education from such a great program is worth the money. :) Thanks again for the opportunity!"
So i guess its back to the books starting in the fall. The thing that is concerning me most about this whole going back to school is the the fact that i don't feel qualified for what is expected. I know all the people who will be starting the same time as me will be at the same level as me, but its still intimidating. I have so much to learn and so much to improve on. This is even more evident when i talk to my friends that are nearly done with the MFT program. I look at them and have a difficult time imagining myself in their shoes by 2015.
I was talking with my mom about it last night she told me, "if you are the smartest person in your class then you are in the wrong class." She is right. I just need to keep reminding myself of that. Matt reminded me too that he still feels intimidated all the time in some of his Masters level classes... i guess its just a feeling i'll need to get used to. If there is something positive about the feeling of intimidation it would be that it keeps you humble and teachable.
I plan to play hard this summer with my little boys and we hope to be visiting a few of our favorite places too. I guess we will see what this summer brings... but first we gotta get this darn snow to melt away and welcome in the spring!
