My first post

I'm starting a blog. I'm not quite sure who will read it...and even if no one reads it, maybe I will still gain something beneficial from having an outlet for all of my thoughts. Really, instead of writing a blog, I should be studying for my Biological Psychology Test, but I'm just not in the mood right now. I could come up with a million excuses, however, I know I'm just being lazy. It's true that I have a lot on my mind...and even though biopsych does intrigue me, it's not at the forefront today. I hope I get a 93% on my final which is Thursday, because that will mean I get an A in the class, but even if I don't get an A, a B is still pretty good for this difficult class that I'm taking in the summer. I would really like an A so that I stand out more on a graduate school application, but I feel like my personal statement will be what gets me in. I only have two more classes after this summer until graduation. I'm taking the GRE in two weeks... I haven't had much time to study for it because of my other summer class and my internship. I keep telling myself that I'll study for it once the semester is over on Friday, but we'll see. I don't know how much studying will help me to prepare for this exam, but I know it wouldn't hurt me to refresh some of my math skills. The practice test I took had a lot of geometry and algebraic questions... I thought I was done with all of that two years ago! But it's here again... I don't understand what algebra has to do with helping people, but I've learned in life that you have to jump through hoops to show that you're committed. I sometimes feel torn between pursuing an education and becoming a mother some day. I'm not quite sure what God wants me to do as far as furthering my education is concerned. I would really like to help others and counseling is the route I want to take...but if God has other plans for my life so be it. I will do my best and if I get accepted great, and if not I'll be content with that too. The more education I pursue, the longer I will have to wait to be a mom. And it doesn't seem to make sense to go to school for all of these years and then have a baby after you graduate... I wish God would give me some answers. I seem like I know what I want to do with my life... but honestly I am torn between two different ideas. Psychology is a demanding field and it requires so many sacrifices. I'm not sure how ready I really am to make those sacrifices...so I just keep moving forward hoping that I'll figure it out.
