Well,
I decided on Northern Arizona University. I will be heading there in the fall to start a Master's in Education: Counseling, Student Affairs. I have an assistantship with the First Year Experience course, so that should be fun. I still haven't gotten an apartment yet, but I'm not too worried about it. There seems to be a good amount of rooms open if we can't find a good apartment.

I'm looking forward to this summer in Madison. Times should be fun, though I'll be working most every weekend at the Terrace, I can still go out afterwards. And the rest of my schedule will open up on Tues/Thurs. This should be nice, cause I'm buying a paddling membership so I can take out a kayak whenever I want. Hopefully I can head out a few times a week to get some extra upper body/core workouts!

I'm definitely going to miss Siren when I move. It's such a great gym, and my workouts are great there. Hopefully in Flag I will be walking a lot more (I don't plan on having to drive to class) and can add in some hiking and classes at the school gym. I'll have to get used to the altitude though. In Mammoth, at 7000 I could definitely feel a change, and that's what it is in Flagstaff.

I am definitely ready for a change in my life though. As great as my after-work life is, I am ready to actually be on a career path, rather than just trying to make a paycheck to pay the bills. I really need some sort of purpose and I definitely do not have that, or any sort of drive here.

I've been doing really well getting my credit cards payed off. Thanks to Colleen and Jim, I've had a really strict budget for the last few months and it has definitely helped. I've already paid off 2 cards, and will have 1 more paid off in a few weeks. Hooray for being debt, well not really, free!

My goal is that when I finish grad school, I will be credit card debt free, I will have paid off my car (only 10 more payments!) and all I will have to worry about is student loans. That way I can find my dream job, in my dream location, even if it might pay a little less, because I won't have to freak out about massive bills every month. Hopefully, I will even be able to save some money!

Ok, time to work :(
