Lately, I've been working on becoming more confident and assertive, but I haven't had any real results. But in the next few days, I will, one way or the other. I got an email from the psychology department saying that a mom in the area is looking for a trainer and a friend for her special needs daughter. I've been looking for a job, and not only does this seem like a great job for now, but this will prepare me for my (hopeful) future as an occupational therapist.

So what did I do? I wrote an email telling this complete stranger that I am qualified to help her daughter, and to prove it, I attached a resume. Can you believe the moxie on that doll? I told my mom that I'd sleep on it, but I figured that if I waited until morning I'd chicken out.

I'm feeling slightly sick. Can I juuuust...take that email back, please? You know when they tell you to just "go for it"? Well, I did that alright, but I prefer more immediate results. I don't like this business of waiting. But I REALLY hope I get it!
