The storyline between Rebecca and Justin really resonated with me this week. Justin is struggling with figuring out what kind of career he wants and he keeps thinking about going back into the army. What gets me about it is that D sometimes talks about joining the military when he’s struggling with his career ideas. He’s never had a true dream and all he wants is a solid career where he feels he’s contributing and a part of something. I can completely understand his frustration. My heart went out to Rebecca as Justin told her how he was feeling. She had that same look I must get when D talks to me. Even her words, “don’t you dare” are what I’ve said to D many times regarding military. I respect so much of what the men and women soldiers do out there, but I don’t want that life for my family. Hopefully the writers find something for Justin. Maybe he should be a nurse instead of a doctor. As for D, I hope he finds the career for him, and soon. I hate that helpless feeling.

I can’t wait for the new season of my favorite shows. It feels like it’s taking forever! Don’t get me wrong, I love my summers. But why does the programming have to be so terrible? On the weeknights after a long day of work, I like to come home and unwind for an hour or two with a little TV. Sadly in the summertime, it’s nothing but reruns or bad reality shows, like Tool Academy. Do these idiots really need their own television show??
So here’s a list of all the shows I can’t wait to see, as well as some new ones that look interesting.

• How I Met Your Mother
• The Office
• 30 Rock
• Parks and Recreation
• Better off  Ted (if those jerks at ABC renew it!)
• Grey’s Anatomy
• Brothers & Sisters
• Desperate Housewives
• Private Practice
• Mad Men
• Family Guy

And for the new shows out, these look like they have potential:

• Cougar Town



• Community

• Parenthood



• Accidentally on Purpose

New shows are always hard to like, because networks are so quick to cancel them. So hopefully if any of these new shows are good, the networks will recognize that, and stop playing back to back episodes of So You Think You Can Dance.  Also, thank you to all the networks for putting TV Shows online. If they didn’t, there’s no way I’d be able to keep up with all these shows.
