Percocet Kitten

And just to catch you up to speed..

We all know I don’t have the best track record with college, honestly. I wasn’t ready the first time I went and I kept trying to force myself to grow up when I really just couldn’t handle life yet.

Well, now I’m ready. I’m 21 years young and I finally have it in my head that if I can just buckle down and get through school, I’ll finally be able to afford to do all the things I want to do with my life, and meet the people I want to meet. While I may end up deviating from this plan, here’s the decision I’ve come to..

I originally wanted to go to school for Nursing. 40-grand a year sounds great compared to what I’m making now, especially if it will only take me four years to get there. Well, I talked to a couple people at the hospital, and I decided I want to take it further. Someone recommended that I look into being a Nurse Anesthetist. No, I cannot pronounce that, and it’s different from an Anesthesiologist so I can’t just “round up” my career choice. Figure this, just a few more years of school (2 years in Med School, ugh) and I can make, on average, 150 grand a year. Now we’re talkin..

So I am happy with this choice, and I’m eager to start school this fall. I have to do one year at community college to get my GPA up, and also so I have time to save up money for when I go away to college. Where am I going to school, you ask? Hono-fucking-lulu Hawaii.

I’ve been talking to advisors at Chaminade Universirty in Hawaii and it really seems like a great school to start off in. It’s crazy expensive to live there, but I’m just putting it on loans and letting ROTC pay for it. Yeah, I’m gonna have to whip my ass into shape for ROTC, that’s gonna suck. But hey, what else can I do to get my tuition paid for, eh?

So yes, by this time next summer I’ll be on a plane out to Hawaii getting ready to finally live my life. No more winters, no more ohio, and no more 50% welfare rate in Steubenville Ohio. I’m kinda scared, but after my mom told me that her and dad are moving to Florida when dad retires, I really have no reason to stay around here.

I don’t want to live in Hawaii for the rest of my life though. I’m only gonna stay there for the 4 years I’m in school. When I go to Med School I want to transfer somewhere else, I’m thinking maybe someplace that’s close to Los Angeles but not too close that it’s insanity. I like small town life.

After Med School and I finish all of my schooling, I’ll owe the Air Force a few years of service. This is where another one of my life goals has come in, I want to join the Peace Corps. If you join, you don’t have to serve your full time in the Air Force, so that’ll work out nice. I don’t know exactly how long I’ll be in the Peace Corps, it depends what assignment I get. But after I finish up that, I’m probably going to move to either Florida or Lousiana (rated the #1 state for happiness!) to begin my career and plant my roots.

So there you have it, the next ten years of my life planned out. Hopefully everything works out, I hope to god it does. This is what I want to do with my life, I just gotta haul ass to make it happen…

The plan really doesn’t leave room for a relationship. Which I’m honestly fine with that. I don’t need the distraction. I want to wait until I’m working my real job before I even think about men. I want a man that makes as much money as I do so that we’re essentially doubling our income and can live in a $300,000/year lifestlye. Ooh the flossy flossy.

*crosses fingers* like RuPaul says.. “Don’t fuck it up!”
