The worst rebound relationship I ever had...


...and it lasted a year and a half. So remember a years and a half ago when I decided I wanted to go to Physical Therapy School? What else was going on at that time? I was working as a Personal Trainer and the economy was crashing. My sells were plummeting and I blamed myself. Lets face it, I always blame myself.
Oh yeah and that was when my friends all started having babies and my reproduction system was being it's charming self. Again I blamed myself. Blame it on the Type A personality.
To feel like I could do something, I devoted myself to being a top scholar. Naturally, I am a horrible student. Don't get me wrong, I can whip out a good grade if needs be but I will cut every corner there is. It's because school bores me to death. I learn best by doing things. I find lectures mind numbing.
This was a great plan, right? I just had to take a year of prerequisites and raise my GPA
Problem #1- I discovered my love for boys my freshman and sophomore year. Going to class didn't seem so important anymore which in turn gave me some awesome grades. I would have to do those 2 years over again to fix my transcript.
Problem #2- my husband loves his job here in Utah so I can only apply to one school. (and they only take 40 students a year) Good Luck, right?
Problem #3- I have 2 miscarriages and fail to get pregnant again while the world (including my mom) has babies. Due to emotional breakdown I end up dropping half of my classes.
Problem #4- I'm hemorrhaging $, paying for all this extra school, plus I'm not working which adds to the financial woes.


So what now....


Goal #1 Realize I don't need a doctorate degree to prove that I'm really smart.
Goal #2 Go to Community College to get a Physical Therapist Assistant certificate to have a stable job
Goal #3Get a business license and insurance for my future personal training studio
Goal #4 Work out and get a friggin sweet bod
Goal #5 Be thankful that I figured all of this out when I was 25 not 45.

I'm really excited for this change. It gives me a chance to breath. Is this for real? Yeah I'm not going back!!!

I can't begin to tell you how awesome you are! Do you watch community? Community college rocks. It's alot like CEU, I'd imagine. That's why I find the show so funny! It's cool that you are looking toward the positive in your life, because you have a lot of it!
