From Georgetown Law to Preschool

Last week I moved careers:

From this:

To this:

Do I regret it, no.  Do I miss Georgetown Law, absolutely!  It has been more difficult than I thought being away from the office.  I spent 3 1/2 years in the Advancement office, made lasting friendships, learned skills that I will use for the rest of my life and gained so much respect for the Law program.  While I will not miss the commute, I will miss the walk to work only because it was such an amazing feeling being able to see the US Capitol every morning.  

I now am able to walk from the car to the door of the preschool which has been nice, especially in the 20 degree temperatures.  I've been in my current position for 14 days and everything is going so well.  I'm enjoying working with the administration team, assisting the teachers, meeting the parents and of course...the children.

It is an adjustment and it will take some time to become completely acquainted with my new position, but I'm looking forward to what this new adventure holds.  I like being closer to Ryan and home.  It's nice being able to spend more time with him which of course is spectacular and is a defintitely a plus.  I have to be honest though when I say that there are times during the day here at work that I think about the Advancement office, the people, the funny moments and traditions...

During these last couple of weeks I continue to think of the Whitney Houston song "One Moment in Time".  I gave my heart to Georgetown (after these past two weeks I realize that part of my heart is still with Georgetown) and I prayed that I worked hard and gave my best.  I now hold onto this moment and will pray that I will take this moment and opportunity and make the most of my time here.

Each day I live

I want to be

A day to give

The best of me

I'm only one

But not alone

My finest day

Is yet unknown

I want one moment in time

When I'm more than I thought I could be

When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away

And the answers are all up to me

Give me one moment in time

When I'm racing with destiny

Then in that one moment of time

I will feel

I will feel eternity

I've lived to be

The very best

I want it all

No time for less

I've laid the plans

Now lay the chance

Here in my hands

You're a winner for a lifetime

If you seize that one moment in time

Make it shine
