Upon much consideration I have concluded thus:
I am ready for life and whichever way it blows me. If it so happens that I marry Tyson, I will be happy. If I find someone else, I will be happy. As long as I pay attention to what the Lord has in store for me, my life will work out. So really, I'm not in charge here, He is. And that's comforting, because I don't always know what is best, but He does.
So thank you Beth, Sarah, Jen, Rachel, Eileen, Hilary, and Kim! ALL of your thoughts were appreciated!
DATE REPORT
Former Crush: Dud. He was distracted and distant, and there was no connection. But most importantly: he doesn't like Princess and the Frog. Thumbs down. [I cannot count how many times I made Tyson watch that with me. Usually I would fall asleep on his lap. We watched it on the day of his farewell when we said our final face-to-face goodbyes. Awwwww...]
Fiddler Man: We have an official date to go country swing dancing on Wednesday. I'm not sure how to feel right now; excited, but scared? The rest of the story [to be continued]...And, by popular request, I shall tell you the plan of my life [or next year.]
My career choice is to be a physical therapist assistant. I love it for many reasons, and I'm super excited to start working with patients. In order to do this I have to do 1.5 years in an intensive program at SLCC to get a degree in it. Therein lies the problem. Salt Lake Community College, the most frustrating school ever. They let people in the program on a first-come-first-serve basis instead of taking applications and choosing the best students. Thus, the program next fall is almost full and so I will be put on a waiting list for the following fall, 2012. Guaranteed I will get into the program, it's just an issue of when. So currently I am facing a year of limbo in which I plan to work and save money so that I don't delve too deeply into student loans, and attempt to live at home. I was hoping to get it done ASAP, but now life is on hold for a year.
So, no, I am NOT converting to BYU, I am going to good ol' Salt Lake [I was there this morning, and it is ghetto], when they finally accept me into the program. Starting next week I will find a job, save money, and try to keep myself occupied for a year. Then Tyson gets home, so who knows after that?
