No More Nursing
So in the long list of changes in my life, I am no longer pursuing Nursing. I think that may have been the first time I wrote that down. I've said it a bunch and explained it all, but I don't think I ever wrote it down. Hmmm... that felt a little strange.
Why did I choose to stop pursuing it? It was not an easy choice, but after being wait-listed again for entering the program... and then decided to move to Maine for a fresh start, that fresh start included nursing. I may still decide to go back to it at some point down the road, but for now, it's off the table.
This move to Maine has allowed us to have jobs with set schedules and set pay so we can actually budget and save for the first time in our entire relationship. We are actually setting ourselves up to try and purchase a home at the end of 2020 or beginning of 2021; a feat I never thought possible. And here we are, crushing that goal!
So, my new degree will just be a Bachelor of Science and Humanities... it will be complete once the school's testing center opens again and I can take the final CLEP test to complete the degree. My goal is to have this completed before the summer is over, but with COVID all plans are very soft these days.
For now, I will continue to chill in my M-F 8-5er cushy accounting job in downtown Portland with a group of pretty fabulous people and all the benefits that go with it. Plus, with trying for Baby Morris, a set schedule makes that so much easier.
