I titled this blog as "What to do???" becuase as I approach the last 9 credit hours of my college career I am becoming confused as to what is next. Problem number 1, what do I do (for a living)? I know you are suppose to have a general idea of what you want to do when you "grow up" when you choose your major, but I kinda missed that step. I guess I just thought that it would fall into place on its own but it isn't panning out that way. I have looked around at a few job prospects that could appreciate my food science degree but I keep talking myself out of sending my resume because I'm not sure if I would enjoy or even be good at any of those jobs. I have entertained the thought of getting my PT (personal training) license and just doing that for awhile until I decide what job is right for me. I would absolutly love personal training and I feel it is something I could do for the rest of my life, even when I have a "real job".
Okay so problem number 2, where do I go? I know I don't want to stay in College Station after I graduate and become one of those "old" people that never moves on. I also know that there aren't many job opportunities (for me) in Ballinger TX so moving home isn't the best idea. That leaves me with a few reasonable ideas and a few extreme ideas. My reasonable options consist of moving to Houston to be close to Brandi and Andrew, or moving to Dallas to be close to Chelsea and Alec. Both options could work but I honestly see myself in Dallas over Houston (and it is not only because of Ross haha) but Houston isn't very friendly and it is even further away from Mom and Dad. Now my extreme options are moving to Hawaii or to another country for a couple years. I know this is a crazy idea and a somewhat selfish one but I have had so many people tell me that this is the only time in my life that I could just go and not have to worry about my family or job, so part of me feels like I should really do it. I would need to have a job lined up before I left and finding a job would be difficult over the phone or e-mail but it is possible. The biggest problem with this idea is that I would have to be away from everyone that I love and that loves me. I hate going even a month without seeing my parents or sisters and I know being away that long would be really hard for me (and them) and if I moved somewhere I didn't know anyone I am worried I will be alone all the time and I hate being alone. Can you see my dilemma?
Anways, I was just sitting here trying to think about all of this and decided to blog it. I hope all is well with you. Keep my family in your prayers becuase the 1st wedding is about a month away (ahhhh) and my graduation is only 3 months away and life is going fast.
God bless and Gig'em!

Well, you know what I would choose for you to do. Dallas! For starters, if you are here we may be able to get Brandi and Andrew to visit more often and you have a TON of people who love you here in Dallas. However, my thoughts about you moving to another country are now is the time, but we would miss you A LOT! On the bright side, it would give Alec and I a reason to visit another country. We love you, we can come to you where ever you are!
To begin, the first word of your last paragraph in "anyway". ""Anyways"" is not a word. Maybe you should try to squeeze in one more English class. Second, if you are not yet married, then I would say go somewhere, ever just for 6 months. You will have jobs and rent and responsibility for the rest of your life. Go see a different part of the country or world and get out of Texas. I would suggest New York, Atlanta, Seattle, San Diego, Chicago or anywhere overseas (that is safe). I know this goes against your families wishes, but you will see so many new things and being away for even a short while will make home (Ross) that much more important. Think about it Alley Cat. When have I steered (U.T.) you wrong?
did you notice how i threw in many spelling and typing errors into my previous comment? just keeping you on your toes, maybe. or I could be a really by typist and speller.
