And the journey begins (sort of)

Hi Friends,

So on the premiere of my first blog entry ever (yay me!), I have to catch you up on everything! My hubby set up this blog for me- and gave it its title- about 2 weeks ago, but I had not a chance to write, which is something we both enjoy-writing. He encouraged me to document this experience to which I agreed was a great idea. Hmm, I wonder if it is was because he thought I needed an alternate posting outlet to FB since I have so much to say. Anyways, now about me (as though there were not already enough narcissistic soon-to-be psychologists or those already in the field), you may wonder what it means to be "on the road 2 Ph.D", and I must say that it has been a road like none other. I am still learning it too, but that's the beauty! Sure there are ups and downs like a roller coaster, but I'm enjoying the ride overall.

Now to fill you in, this "road to PhD" will lead to a PhD in International Psychology. Yes, I know you're wondering what that is, but we will explore that a little later, so stay tuned to the blog... This road is the preview or rather prequel to a big finale and sequels with interesting twists and turns along the way. Sometimes, I have to keep up with my fast-paced life! To catch you up on the last year and a half, there has been class after class after, did I say class?, residencies, writing a dissertation (still working on it), traveling to and through (beautiful) Peru and planning 2 more international trips for 2012, traveling across the US sometimes on a whim, moving twice in a year, working (as a psych instructor), babies born (no, not mine), children's theatre (still not mine), weddings, parties, start and end of an entrepreneur venture, brushing up on and learnig new languages, new friends, reuniting with family and old friends, dining and exploring the city, practicing my chef-girl-ardee skills, unfortuate news, losses, good news, reconcilation, tears, healing, trying to figure out the mechanics of this blog site (pretty unusual for a tech-savvy person as my hubby says), and a much needed recent day at the spa followed by a delicious bistro and fabulous shopping. I welcome your company on this road trip, but buckle up because this will be (has been thus far) a ride with some un-expectations, but nonetheless, a fab journey!

Cheers :)
