I'm getting my race kit for my 10k for diabetes tomorrow. I have shin splints. I've been resting since Tuesday. I iced tonight. I'll be advilin' it up the day of.
I paid for my course today. Myself. The funding didn't happen, but I want this to happen. I'm going to make it happen. I just don't know how, exactly, but I'll do it! You only live once!
So, I start reading tomorrow night! Talk about kicking off a new life!

Good to go!
I can get the funding! WOOT! I called this morning and they will pay for my degree starting in May. I called to find out about the intro to sociology credit and I can do it in the Spring session. I was brainstorming today on the questions I need to answer for my application essay. I like writing papers and studying. Not so much in the mass amounts when I'm actually doing a couple of courses at a time, but it's something that I'm good at.
The lady I spoke with was impressed with my years of experience and my education and suggested I apply for the MSW program instead, but I don't have an educational reference anymore. I'll just take the slower route to my MSW.
Exciting times!

Where I'm at
To think I once kept a frequently updated journal for a couple years. Let's see if i can manage it this time.
I'm going to try to go to school. It's not obstacle free, it never is. There is only one program offered in Canada. Long-distance Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) professional years only. It's at an area University - perfect for learning of the needs of my community and the resources. But...I don't have an intro sociology. I have to contact the director of the program to find out if I can do it over the summer or in the first semester of the program.
I have to write an essay answering questions. Send in transcripts, apply through the application centre.
But first I have to call my reserve to see if they'll pay for it. They paid for my first 3 courses.
When I was pregnant with Peyton I took 3 courses and got an A- in each of them. I fully intended to continue after a semester, but Peyton was colicky and screamed for months. Also would only allow me to hold her, not even Daddy. Then she wouldn't sleep in longer than 2 -3 hour increments. I didn't take into account the adjustment of a new baby with a preschooler and full-time work.
I want to see if they'll still support me.
And then I also have to be connect with a reserve for the degree. This is a big challenge socially for me. I have social contacts, but I'd have to call the traditional healer and ask if I can volunteer and attend at ceremonies. I used to and enjoyed but but haven't been in 7 years.
So I don't know, but I think if I put my mind to it I'll get sponsored and get in. I'm trying to move mountains so I fully live my life. Create a life of adventure.
