Hey guys,
I thought I’d write about some recent events in my life that I am a bit torn over.
To start I just got promoted…yay me! lol…I was honesty rather surprised bc I didn’t study for the exam, nor did i take it remotely seriously bc I had no plans of staying in. Don’t get me wrong…I LOVE my job and all that I’ve learned and exerienced…BUT it’s not easy.
ONE DAY…I would like to meet some one I can settle down with…and start a family. I’m definately NOT in a rush nor am I looking honestly. I’m just kind of doing my own thing and focusing on work while I’m recovering…..oh and thank you all for the well wishes and prayers. I really really really appreciate it! It mean alot to me.
But since I’ve made E5 it’s got me thinking. I don’t feel like …Idk..like i’ve done enough…if that makes sense?! I want to do more. I want to see more. I feel like I’ve become complacent in my current command that I’m limiting myself on all that there is to see. My contract ends NOV09 and I need to make a decision quickly…I’m feeling the pressure.
On the other hand…if I get out..I can always go to school. (i’ve been going to school while I’ve been in a only have a few more classes until I start nursing school) But nursing has sort of lost it’s allure to me. I love helping people…i’m naturally a nuturer. I just don’t feel "prepared" to get out. It’s such a big transition…am I ready for this?
My dear friend from Corps School is stationed on Camp pendleton, CA. She is having a blast! I’m SERIOUSLY considering going to Field Medical School in Camp Lejeune, NC (which i tried really hard to do during the end of 2008 but with no luck) and then taking orders to Camp Pendleton with the Marines. I joined (my father and brother are Marines so I’m biased.lol jk) to initially go with them, but was never able to due to whatever circumstancial reason they gave me each time. But, sometimes I find myself thinking I’m 23…I never go out…ok I do but rarely…I work ALL THE TIME ( I have a second job) I just feel like I need to have fun, stop being so darn up tight and goody goody…get a change of pace going, and refocus! I really want to deploy to Afganistan. It will be good for me…I really enjoy being deployed plus i can save a bunch more money before i get out too. But staying in will prolong my degree. I’d like to get my masters in Anesthesia one day!
I really love my job…but am i limiting myself? I don’t want to have any regrets.
Questions….questions… suggestions?
Am I whining? Oh goodness…stop me if I am. lol.
