I don't know what to do with myself
Well, I guess I do. First I have to update my inventory for the gallery, clean some jewelry, and drop it off on the way to the nursery today. I also have to fill out my extension form and mail it to the school. I feel like I've let myself down by applying for an extension when I've wasted a lot of time over the past few years, but it will also give me some time to find out how my classes will/won't transfer to the new formal, which will help me decide on what to do about that.
I've been making lists of things I'd like to do professionally...what I want out of this degree. I've been looking at other schools, seeing if my needs might be better met elsewhere. The difficult thing is choosing a path. Do I want to go the full RD route and go to a traditional college? Do I want to teach and write about healthy dietary habits but not directly consult people? My mind is all fuzzy. Adam's been frustrated about my lack of a definitive career that I'm expecting to make for myself after finishing school, but the truth of the matter is that with each class I've taken, it's given me so much more to think about. I definitely understand his frustration (how does he think I feel? I'm confused!) but I see it as a good thing too. I think sometimes when we are *too* focused on one thing, we may loose sight of other opportunities or other paths that may present themselves to us. But to be honest, right now it's a bunch of gobbly-gook. I think I would like to combine a few part-time jobs, like work for a natural health practitioner of some sort doing office work, do face painting with Adam, and do the little seminars that I've been outlining in my head over the past year. I need to find the password to update my web site, and I'd start switching over content on my web site to reflect the natural health stuff. So much floating around in my head these days...
Yesterday's food:
• water
• plain yogurt with banana, blueberries, handful of cereal
• pita pizza with canterbury salad mix and goat cheese
• apple juice
• broccoli, 1 yellow pepper, 2 stalks of celery, sautéed, over basmati rice
• popcorn
• apple juice
It really bothers me, how well I've been doing popping the popcorn on the stove. I don't count popcorn as any sort of vegetable serving and think it's junk for the most part. We got all sorts of popcorn from a local farm and it's good, and as long as I don't eat it often I allow myself this treat, although I will say, popcorn always seems to be better with soda, and I'm not drinking soda. Popcorn is weird with water. And it was weird with apple juice last night, but I thought apple juice was way better than orange juice. Maybe next time I'll get some soda water and mix it with a fruit juice. Maybe that will help. Or maybe I'll just get over it? LOL!
So I guess I should get started on that inventory list. I should be leaving in less than 2 hours.
