On The School Front:
In the last 4 years, I've tried to settle on different career paths to make me happy. They have varied from physical therapist assistant to nurse. I have been unhappy with each 'final' decision, always reverting back to "I really would like to go to medical school. I want to be a Dr." I don't have a clue how I can do it with 2 children. But, I want to. So, over the last month- we've really really talked about it. Adam said even if it takes 10 years- he's standing behind my decision. So, I really don't have an excuse not to pursue my dream, do I? I spent nearly an hour on the phone this morning with a lady from the school I would like to obtain my BS in Med Tech from. I need 2 courses (Chemistry 2 and Microbiology) to apply. She was so positive! She kept saying that they looked forward to seeing my application next fall. And, I hae a great GPA. It's a 3.5 even with 2 (yes, 2!) C's. I took Trig online (I do NOT recommend that one!) and Oral Communications. I didn't ever do a speech (also took online) how in the world I got a C, I will never know. I am going to retake Oral Comm, just to up my GPA. I would love a 4.0, but I do have a few B's and don't want to retake everything I got a B in. So, thats where I am. I'm taking a few online courses this summer. Micro in the fall & Chem 2 in the spring, several other- I will post my schedule at a later time. I will them apply to the MEd Tech program. It's a 2 year program. I will obtain (thats my goal anyways) my BS in Medical Technology and then apply to medical school :)
On The Home Front:
At some point, we will be moving. The above named school is 3.5 hours away. However, we will also be closer to many of my family members. This is why I called our realtor today. We need to find out what we need to do to get our home ready to sell.
On The Therapy Front:
The area we are moving in to is where both Logen's SLP and OT went to school and lived for a while, both of which still have family and friends in those areas. So, I am not going to be worried about finding Logen good therapists. Moving into an area with a school district that has a good special ed program may be a challenge, but again- our therapists here said they would do what they could to help, big, big relief!!!!! I'm glad we aren't going into uncharted territory there!
On The Job Front:
With Adam's job, he can transfer. Thing is- we have to wait until a spot is open. A spot can open tomorrow and he can bid or it could be a year from now. We can't just up and leave when we want if he wants to stay at his employer, we have to wait for his work to have an opening in the area we are moving to.
So, we have big stuff going on here! Would you say prayers for us all!
