Monday and Tuesday I took a course preparing me to succeed on the LEED Green Associate exam. It was extremely beneficial, I learned a lot and feel very confident about taking the test now. My instructor really knew his stuff and broke it all down into it's simpliest form, making it impossible to be confused. I plan on taking it at the end of January. It's the first of two test that I need to pass in order to receive accreditation as a LEED professional. Clueless about LEED building... don't be... click HERE.
It was the first time in a really long time that the idea of my own personal career/profession was thought of in a positive light. I can't lie, I don't have a dream job and the idea of ever having a dream job seems to be slipping further and further out of view. Mainly, because what I once thought would be a perfect fit for me... is turning out to prove otherwise. And I don't specifically mean my current job (don't get me wrong.. I am thankful for this gig)... more like the idea and culture of my industry. The fact is: if someone was to ask me what my dream job would be... I don't think I'd be able to answer them... and that has definitely put a damper on any aspirations I might have had. And as many of you know the economy has turned my industry upside down. Positive attitudes are hard to find right now.
Anyways, not only did I learn a lot; I didn't have to go to work and I got to dress like a college student again. I LOVED IT! Jeans, tennis shoes, t-shirts and pull-over fleece; it just felt so familiar... yet so long ago. It kind of made me want to go back to school... and then I realized that I'd have to pay for it this time... and the thought was quickly erased from my head. But it was a nice change of pace... now back to the grind stone.
