Shoulder to the Wheel
I have officially changed my program to Radiation Therapy which means I will be pursuing a bachelor's degree. I am taking on a lot of responsibility by doing this; more than I have in many, many years. The RT program is daytime-only. I can take the prerequisite classes at night but when I get accepted into the core curriculum, I will have no choice but to attend classes during the day.
This, of course, is all right because I will need to get used to being awake during the day if I am to pursue this career. I am not too worried about it. In order to prepare myself for this, I have scheduled my Anatomy & Physiology (A&P) class at 10am on Monday and Wednesday.
Classes begin September 29th so I have that much time to get myself in a better state of mind and body. I'm really psyched about going back this time. Sure, there is the usual anxiety that goes with going back to school after a withdrawal but it's not really that bad. I have a new laptop for taking notes and I am going to try studying somewhere other than home to see if it helps. While I haven't done poorly in the past, I could be doing much better than I am.
I'm not sure when I will become a candidate for the program but I am going to start getting some face time with all the right people so that they already know me when it comes time to interact with them.
There really isn't much else going on right now. I've seen my brother a few times and I've been to The Henry Ford Museum/Greenfield Village a couple times. I know I need to do some more things with my time but I am building up to it. I need to get back into the gym more often. I've been relying on the interaction with my nieces and nephews for my activity but I don't see them enough to get all the activity I need. My blood sugar is back under control and my weight is my next focus so stay tuned...
