good at planning
I am thinking more and more about going back to school, not for anything related to education or kids, but for the ultrasound tech. stuff. The empathetic u/s folks that I've run into the last year have made an impression on me. And it would allow me a flexible schedule so I could still homeschool my kids, which is really my ultimate goal. I am not thinking that I would always be away from schooling stuff--I still want to get Montessori certified--but I really want an option or two that could potentially allow me to make some money.
The way the community college here does the ultrasound tech degree stuff is that everyone starts in the fall and it goes for two years at 15 credit hours a term. I am concerned about my sucky GPA connected to my previous coursework. I don't know if they would even let me in the program. I know there is an entrance exam. And an algebra requirement. I think I could do it. 2 years is really nothing. The thing I'm thinking about now is to start this coming fall--with a 6ish week old...not so appealing--or make my plans for the next fall. Who knows? I'm going to go down there this week and find out some info. There are other schools around, private business-y/vo-tech-y sort of schools, who may offer different tracks and what not. I want to find out more.
I know I tend to stew about things awhile. I have so many friends, online and local, who get an idea and bam! they are DOING it. I sometimes wish I could be that way. Immediate action makes me nervous. I do like a plan. And I've acted on enough of my plans that I don't feel like a rudderless dreamer, most of the time.
