Ah, today is the last day of January! Where does the time go? Seems like only yesterday it was Christmas and now tomorrow is February. Ah, well. This year, I have several goals I am working towards. I don't particularly like calling them "resolutions". I feel that sounds very sterile and it's more of a win/lose scenario to me. I prefer using the term "goal" because it's something I feel that I can work towards. If I get there, great. If I don't, that's ok too because I know I will have worked towards the goal either way.
So, this year one of my goals is to give myself options and explore those options. As I am looking ahead for this year, I want to work on my career path. I am looking at several different journeys I can take and I am excited about each one. Grad school is a definite choice. There are several programs I am looking into, so we shall see how that goes. At my present job, there is a career lattice program I have applied for, which would give me experience in other departments (even though I've already worked in 3 of them haha) and it would give a decent salary increase for every level I complete. This would also be a good option when I look into getting my administrator's license. Having this kind of experience would be key. Now, let's see if I get accepted!
I want to grow career wise, so I need to look into more of what's out there for me. I am definitely open to the many possibilities that await me. I'm simply not going to put all of my eggs in one basket, either. Sometimes things work out and sometimes they do not, for a multitude of reasons. And if something doesn't work out for one reason or another, I want to have something else ready to try. It both scares me and excites me to think of taking some kind of risk like that, being a creature of comfort and habit.
So, when this ball starts rolling, I will post more. If you have any suggestions, I welcome them.
That is all.
