A new crossroads

so this place is somewhere i find myself it seems when seasons are changing. maybe its the sleep deprivation, maybe its that i am ready for something better, maybe i am just not about to let my fear lead me.

maybe it is a little of all of that

so i am trying to figure out what i want the next 5 years to look like. i know what i want to do with my life - so what am i going to do to get it there?

this is what i am looking at and would be more than happy to hear any input as to what you think what you hear it. doesnt mean i have to take your advice but i would like as much input and thought going into this as to best set myself up.

here is what i am thinking:

i want a degree in nutrition/dietetics/wellness. yes that is one degree and there is something a little fancier but i cant think of what it is right now. its a bachelors and i am not sure what will transfer. i have 30 credit hours just from GRCC and then i dont know if anything from Massage would even be considered. so i could maybe finish it out in about 2-3 years. so theres a couple of years devoted to said plan. theres more to this. so where? there are a lot of good schools that have this program but they are not in NC - which is where i was planning on moving to this fall to live at la casa de Robles and go to school. not really possible if i want this degree to be a reality. i still miss my sister and her family a great deal so i am looking at other possibilites. like how to finance this plan and still be able to get residency somewhere in a way that i can maximize where ever possible. so i am thinking i also want to be a personal trainer - i think that this one would be a ton of fun and something i find myself naturally drawn too (especially with a massage background) and have wanted to do somewhere down the line that would help with the nutrition degree as a whole outlook to wellness. this would also be a place where i could start looking at getting clients and network and start getting my name known. not in the south because they apparently arent fully all into that sort of health like i am looking to be but it would also get me a good basis to be at least known with a gym that i could transfer and all this to say maybe i take this opportunity in the fall and that way i could establish residency for the degree and have a way to pay for my school. now this still only gets me 3 years down....

have a few more things in mind

after i get this degree i want to be an apprentice with a company called Culture ROI. i love the work they do and I want to take that into the medical world. i want to be the in the top of what im going to do - i want people to know my name and companies to search me out because of the skillz im going to have and already have. so maybe thats it - that i already have the first 3 years planned and now i have to move onto the years after that.

but also the where - where do i want to go to school? i want it to be in a place where gyms are like gyms and they are big and beautiful and people are really becoming health conscious. i know that part of the reason i am thinking Virginia is because i have been here for a few weeks and just love being out here. but at the same time where would i live? where would i work??

how detailed does this plan have to be - because i kinda see myself getting married sometime decently soon as well - i want that to be in the next 5 years...

so now what - thoughts?? ideas??
