Love Doctor

Hello, World.
Been a month since my last post... Hmm.

A lot has transpired this past year, and the past few months especially. Although my days haven't been particularly eventful, attitudes, opinions, beliefs... They've changed.

I got approved medically to join the Air Force, and was making plans to be processed and take the ASVAB.
But I finally decided it wasn't for me. It was hard for me to convey this to the recruiter, but I did. So now, that plan is out the window and off my chest... I felt so much relief getting off the phone with him. I know that I made the right choice.
I get to be ME now.
The hard part about NOT joining, is not gaining the benefits I would get by joining. I think it's worth it.

But I had to start thinking about what I wanted to do.
I applied for financial aide so I can go to school to become a Nursing Assistant. I'll see if I'm approved in a week or so.

It's a short course (I think) and I'll be able to make better money than working retail (...) while I'm going to school to become an RN.

After that, I want to go to school and get my Bachelor's with a double major in Nutrition - Dietetics and Business with an emphasis on sustainability. Difficult, I know. But worth it if I decide to cut off my education right there.
After THAT, I want to go to school to become a Naturopathic Doctor... maybe.
For someone who's never been the biggest fan of school, this is a lot of school. I know I want at least my bachelor's, but the extra 4 years for Med School plus clinical training... not to mention tests for licensing and the upkeep to go along with it.

For someone who has always wanted to break into the entertainment industry, these are all interesting choices.
I figure at the very least, in 3 years from now, after becoming an RN, I'll know if I want to continue my education... Rather than support myself while trying to get into film and television, or even go to school for something in the Arts.

A lot to think about, isn't it?
