Changes

So, looking back on the first month of this brand new year, I realized that while some of my resolutions have been kept (I finally got my hair cut, thank you very much!), others have been pushed to the side. I never actually worked up the nerve to go an volunteer at the gauntlet. I have this idea in my head that you have to be arty and chic and English major-y in order to fit in there. So I decided that I would volunteer at the physio clinic instead. This works well with my degree, and the career path I am looking to pursue. I have my first time tomorrow! I'm kinda stoked and a little bit apprehensive. The best part about this opportunity is that it gives me a chance to see if physio is actually a career that I want to do for the next 40 years of my life! 

I have also decided that I'm not going to rush school and get myself all stressed out about classes. Since I transfered into kinesiology after a year in science, I'm behind in all my classes. I'm technically a second year student, but I'm taking first year classes, and will be taking first year classes next year as well. This puts me behind because all those first year classes are requirements  for the 300 and 400 level classes. But if I give myself an extra semester I will be able to get all the classes that I need, and hopefully I will be able to get the grades that I want. 

Last thing, I was looking into other career possibilities for myself and I found something really interesting.  All that classes that are required for my degree, are also the required classes for becoming a personal trainer. After I take those classes (I don't even have to have finished all my classes, just a couple physiology classes) I can take a test and become certified. Its sounds pretty awesome, and pays decently considering the field. Its really reassuring that there are other options for me out there!
