HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

So, it's been a while. Sorry
Just been busy the past few weeks. I've moved down to South Florida and will be starting class on Monday. I'm so excited. I never thought I would actually be at this point. I haven't been doing anything for the past month or so. I started reading James Patterson, his Alex Cross series, and finished all but the last book. It was always checked-out at the library. I received an email with the list of books for the first semester I need 10 books. I got all but 2 online. I also got an otoscope/opthalmoscope set online.
I really like our new place. I think it will be a great retreat at the end of the day.
I wanted to give a quick recap of how I got to this point.
I'll start off by saying that when I was little, I always knew I wanted to be a doctor. I may have imagined being something else, but it was always pair with being a doctor (i.e. astronaut and a doctor, teacher and a doctor, president of the US and a doctor). So I went through high school focusing on becoming a doctor. I was an excellent student. I graduated top 10 in my class. Unfortunately, my high school counselor steered me in the wrong direction. She used motivators (specifically money) to switch my mind to study engineering. So I started college as an Electrical Engineering major. Not a good decision. I didn't like the major so I switch to mathematics, thinking because I was really good in math, I would be fine...not so. I then switched my major to biology. This happened after failing a semester and seeing the school's psychologist. I attempted to get back on the path to medical school. I ended up having to take a year off of school. I went back to school with intentions on becoming a physical therapist until someone in my Intro to Allied Health Science class came and talked about PAs. I was sold on the profession and from then on, I've been pursuing the career. It has been a long battle. I have had to deal with many disappointments. I've had to explain my past academic failures, and I mean literal failures, more times than i would like.
But I'm in and I'm starting on a journey. So I hope to be a good guide in this quest to become a PA. I believe I can do it and my husband is confident that I can make it through. I also have a slew of family, friends, and coworkers that are just waiting for me to finish; so I can diagnose their issues. :).
I will try my best to post as much as I can, when i can.

YES!!!

So I'm excited today. I got emails for registering and all this stuff. Not a lot of stuff but stuff. I'm so excited. The vision is coming into my sights. They sent me financial aid stuff also and, PRAISE GOD, I will not have to pay anything out of pocket for tuition. Books will be another issue, but that's okay. I also received a list of emails for  the people in my class. Oh, boy, I'm ready.

Bored

So I am bored out of my mind. Today, I took off work because I wasn't feeling well. I just came back from my military duty this weekend, and i have been having a little sore throat and post nasal stuff. Oh yeah, I'm in the National Guard. I do the one weekend a month and two weeks out of the year thing. It's pretty cool. However, with not having a 'weekend' and then not feeling well, i didn't want to deal with the job today. So I stayed home, doing...nothing. I tried to watch a movie, it was boring. I slept, surfed the web and wished my hubby was home. I'm suppose to be learning Spanish. I guess I could have done that today. I really want to learn because I think it is important in health care. As a clinician, I want to be able to treat all my patients. I think a translator is a bit of a hindrance and can be a barrier in treating someone.
I am just waiting to move down so we can get settle, a little, in our new place. I think I have about 2 weeks to get settled into our new place and explore the city. I'm so nervous and excited at the same time. I can call it nercited or exervous (just combine the words).
I guess that is it for tonight. I have to go to work tomorrow. My husband is doing his work now. I guess this is how it will feel with me. He got home, ate dinner, and jumped into the books, actually the computer. So I guess I'm feeling what he will be feeling in about 2 months. Will we be able to spend time together when I start school? We'll see. My hubby will be done with his program sometime next year, so we will both be going to school. I pray GOD will bless us and keep us.

Late

I'm already starting: not writing when I say. I haven't really been too busy. I'm just relaxing and chilling until school starts. So a little about me:
I'm married, been for 3.5yrs now. My husband is an ER tech and is currently going to school for computer science. I have a step daughter who has been living with us for the past year and a half, but will be going home with her mom in about 3wks. I work in an outpatient clinic and I do like it but I'm ready for a change. I'm ready for something different. I'm ready for the next step. I love GOD and am not ashamed to admit it. I am a born again Christian and try to live my life in a way that is pleasing to Him.
I grew up military, so I don't really have a hometown. I'm pretty much at home wherever I go. I have been wanting to be in the medical field since I was young. I can remember wanting to be a doctor and a teacher, or a doctor and an astronaut; or a doctor and something else. i don't know if maybe that is my destiny, my divine purpose in life, but it's been a long road to get here.
I'm so excited. We have found an apartment and will be moving down the middle of next month. We haven't seen the place so I hope it is good. I'm so ready to get this thing started.

The First Post

So, I've joined the bandwagon and started my own blog. This blog will be the description of my 'quest' to become a Physician Assistant. It took 5 long years to get to this point, but I'm finally here. I have been accepted to a school in the southeast part of the US. I'm really excited. I will be starting in January.
I don't know if I will be posting everyday, but I will try.
Tomorrow, I'll write a little more about myself. It's late tonight and I have a few things to do before going to bed.
So until tomorrow...
