I have made a decision!

Well, my pondering, wondering and confusion are all at an end. I decided that no more putzing around with doing things in steps. I’m just gonna go ahead and do it.

So, I’m sure you are wondering to yourself, just what the heck am I talking about.

A Quick Recap:

I am going to a Business College to get my Pharmacy Technician certificate and then go on and get an Associates Degree as a Medical Assistant. And then some day in the future, go on and get my Occupational Therapy degree.

Only I just recently found out that the college credits I was paying for at the Business College would not transfer to any of the local universities who might have an Occupational Therapy program. So I would have to take all of my classes over again in order to move forward on the Occupational Therapy degree.

So I was thinking, “What’s the freaking point of attending this Business College in the first place if I’m just going to have to take all the classes over again, and pay for them again!?!?”

So I’m quitting. The Business College. And going to the local community college that has a transfer program into a second local college with a Masters Degree Occupational Therapy program.

Yes, a Masters Degree.

Here is what I have decided to do:

There is no sense in wasting money and time if I know what I want. I will have to bust my ass if I want to do this. I’m not getting any younger and things will not get any easier. So I’m going to jump in with both feet.

If I do get the job at the VA, or any job, for that matter, I will go to school part time and I will not give up on this. I will probably be in my 40’s by the time I manage to finish this journey, but Dammit I ain’t gonna give up on it.

I still have to talk to M about this. I think she will support me in this decision. But I need her input because she is a whole lot smarter than I am about many things, and she may have thought of something I haven’t.

Hey, if y’all believe in a Higher Power, or God or Goddess, whatever your belief or even non-belief system is: Would y’all mind thinking positive thoughts, prayers or good luck in my direction? Normally this isn’t something I would ask for, but I feel that I might need all the help I can get.

Thanks guys. Y’all are really true friends, even if I’ve never met you… Yet!

I’m Alive… So Far…
