back to school.

So we all know that I go through phases of wanting to go back to school.  Most of the time I talk about going back to become a nurse, and this always happens around the holidays, right before I have to go back to work after a nice long two week break, before the heart of Daffodil season.  I have gone through this nursing phase about 3 times since graduating from Augie (do the math, that means I go through this phase just about every year - it's like clockwork!)

Well I am excited to tell you that I am completely over this nursing school thing.  I could never be a nurse, not ever.  Way to scary for me, not sure how a few of my closest friends do it.  My new thing that I really hope does not turn out to be a phase, it to go back to school to become a registered dietitian.  How awesome would that be?  I love food, and I love making good food choices, and I know that eating "right" doesn't have to be boring and without butter...  That combined with my love of being active, it just seems like it would be a good life decision.

So, I have found two programs that are completely online and I am way excited to look into them more in depth.  I am also way scared...going back to school?  We all know, especially Becky, how much I hated college and just wanted to graduate and start my "real life" (ha!).  The going back to school is not the real scary part, I am excited to challenge my brain and give it a good workout again, but what happens if I actually do take all the necessary classes and get accepted into an internship program somewhere...that means I would have to quit my job and maybe even move.  My job is my comfort zone, my safety net, how could we move away from Iowa, from Nic's work...how do people do it?


Life is all about taking risks, right?
