ahhhhhh!!! i flippin did it!! hahaha.. not like it was hard.. since there are virtually no requirements to be accepted to UVU, but nonetheless.. i still had to submit my application and fee. and yayyyyyyyyyyyy i got my admissions acceptance last night!! hallelujah! now things can fully start happening. and i have something DECENT to blog about!!
i also put in my application for a company in the provo valley area with locations in orem, provo, and highland. hopefully i get it!! that'd be awesome.. the sooner the better. so i can get settled. i'm trying to do this not-last-minute. unlike everything else that's probably happened in my life that i had control over!
so now i have a dilemma.. what to major in. it's been awhile since i attended a 4-year university and not just futted around at a community college. hahaha. but luckily i accumulated a lot of credits while at UH... in exercise science. one problem.. i want to be a social worker. so now i'm seriously debating on whether to graduate with a degree in exercise science.. since most of my credits from UH transfer, i'd graduate faster.. or social work... which i LOVE, but would take me at least another year if not another year and a half more than a degree in exercise science since i'd only be attending school part time either way. aghhhhhh. i know i went to get my masters in social work or counseling. so now i'm perplexed. in order to qualify for the majority of masters programs, what your bachelor's is in doesn't matter, as long as you have one.. along with the required pre-reqs. aghhh more!! so most people would be like hey.. what? duh.. it's obvious. get the exercise science degree.. but i'm not sure if i can secure a decent job post bachelors while in a masters program. i really REALLY don't want to be a waitress like a lot of my friends who ended up realizing that makes more money than what they can actually do with the major. :( if i got a bachelors in social work, as long as i qualified and passed the licensing exam(s), i'd be able to practice as a social worker and make a decent living while getting my masters. but.. if i get the position i applied for in utah, along with the jobs i've held the past couple years here in hawai'i nei, i'd most def have enough work experience to convince somebody, hopefully, to hire me on in a behavioral health capacity. aghhhh. okay. aggh agghhh aggghhhh. sorry for my ramblings.
but on another note.. thanks ash for the wonderful blogging music courtesy of your christmas playlist on your blog. hahaha :)
i think i already know what i'm leaning towards, but maybe i should talk to an advisor for sure.. and then figure everything out.
and... on yet another note. i need to find a better transition.
and it came to pass.. that i FOUND a coat!! yay!!! that's been my biggest strife with planning for my winter trip.
it's from old navy. men's department. hahaha. hopefully no one will notice. except you two. so duuuude. it totally bites because i have ENORMOUS man shoulders and no matter what ladies coat i find, i end up looking like the incredible hulk because my arms and shoulders can't fit. crap! crap! crap i tell you!! so yeah. i'm stoked. there's so much more i want to blog about. but i can't focus right now. hahahaha. so i'll blog later. excited karess?? hahaha.
btw.. do you know how long it took me to figure out where to put "ACCEPTED!" on the UVU admissions letterhead? hahaha. i'm a KOOK! kook i say!
