Down the rabbit hole

So I went to the Academic Advising Center today. I took a bunch of tests and talked with a peer counselor. It is quite possible that I will stumble into the wonderful world of nursing and not dental hygiene.
My only problem is that I am behind for both of the choices I'm considering. WHY??????
Why do I have to like so so so many things. I can't make up my mind half the time. Now that I actually know what I want to do (after switching my major twice) it will take me longer to get into a program because I have to take the prerequisites.
I know that one extra year or semester will seem like nothing in 20 years when I'm doing what I've always wanted. I'm not worried too much about it. My biggest problem right now is just figuring out which program I want to be in.
There are great options at BYU-I, but also at home in North Carolina. Honestly, I'd rather be home. Plus I need a car for the program here and I complete the program in four continuous semesters. No time to go home and work like I usually would. I guess I'm just going to have to work really hard when I'm home and see what I can do. I just know that being a nurse is exactly what I want to do.

Sunny with a high of 65...

Sunny and beautiful in Rexburg. Smelling like mangoes and rocking some turquoise eyeliner.

Looking forward to the future

So I've spent the past two weeks trying to figure out what to do with my life. I have finally figured everything out and it is a huge relief.
I'm pursuing a career in dental hygiene and will take prerequisite courses this coming school year and then transfer into a dental hygiene program. I have a few options as to where I will go-one in Utah and two in North Carolina-but I'm undecided for the time being.
I'm also planning to move into a real apartment next semester and escape the dorms.
Isn't it beautiful?



This apartment is barely more than I pay for the dorm I'm living in now and it is way better. Plus laundry is included in the price. I'm really excited to be moving on to a better living space. My dorm right now is annoying and it makes you seem like a 4th grader. It's almost embarrassing to tell people where you live if you're in the dorms. That won't be a problem for much longer!
I have 80 days left in the semester and I cannot wait to be home. My parents are trying to get my return flight date moved so I don't have to wait two weeks after the end of the semester to go home. 
Stay lovely!
