| i miss the old days of xanga. like when i'd write something and people actually cared.
| | |
| so, my doctor called me today and said that she's 95% sure that i have celiac disease, which is an allergy to gluten. that means that i would have to cut out 90% of grains; no bread, no cookies, no pizza, no bagels, no cake, etc. etc. i still have to get further testing but basically this really sucks.

| so, it's been a while since i've been on here. i feel like i'm still working on the same things though. i think i'm settling into work a little better now, which is a relief after 3 years.
i kind of just made a decision on new years eve. i was thinking that i could easily stay in indecision for the rest of my life. i could weigh the pros and cons of each potential career option and never figure out which career i was "meant" to do or that would be a "perfect match" for me. but then i decided that there is no perfect when it comes to career! there will be days when i'm tired and i won't want to do anything but sit at home with a book or something. even if i decided to do something that i always dreamed of doing, like something artistic, i think there would be days when i had no inspiration and just the thought of trying to produce something just because there was a deadline would be so stressful! would i start to hate the things that i used to love doing?? and then what about foreign language? i really like being able to communicate with people of different nations and cultures, but a lot of the time i think i have a hard time communicating with people in my own language who share the same basic culture as me. and if i were to be a teacher i would have to be up at the front of a classroom all day, with people staring at me in expectation of something profound. that's just too much pressure!
so then i thought about nursing. yes there are days that it could be very stressful, i know that just from the little experience with healthcare that i've had so far. but then there is the wonderful feeling that you are actually helping someone in need. there could be days when i would have to deal with some not so pleasant physical ailments of others, etc. but for some reason that doesn't seem like such a big deal. the thing i know is that it could be a good career, it pays well, it's a very practical skill that i could use for my whole life professional and otherwise, it's defintely an in demand profession therefore it would be easier to get a job no matter where we decide to move over the course of our lives, and i know that if i just set my mind to it i can do well.
so, that is basically how i came to the decision that i should just go for it and work on becoming a nurse. the plan is to start school in the fall and hopefully finish in 2-3 years. we'll see how it goes. it's kinda scary right now since i haven't been in school in almost 5 years! not to mention that i'll have to take more math and science classes, which have always been a little tougher for me. but despite all of my fears i know this is something that i have to do for not only me but my husband as well.
and so i start down the path on this next exciting journey.....

| i have no clue what i am doing with my life. i have a few ideas of what i am good at and what i enjoy but not enough to decide on what i want to go to school for or build a career around. i know that if i stay in the job i am in for much longer i will be no good to the world. my heart will die a little more each day that i am there like it has for the past 3 years. but making decisions has never been my forte, especially when it will affect the course of my life and my husband's as well. oh, what to do, what to do....
