Long Overdue Update
So it's been over 4 months since I've last updated my blog. It's all due to the fact that I haven't had my laptop almost that whole entire time. The motherboard was actually ruined on it. Long story short, we finally bought a new laptop. So yay! Back to civilization ;-)
Many things have happened between then and now. Well, not *that* many but kind of.
I'm not even gonna begin blogging in a timeline fashion because I simply can't remember, in order that is, all the events that have happened during these 4 (ish) months.
Well, as far as my personal self is concerned, I thought of furthering my education. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration, emphasis in Management with a minor in Biology. However, I am not particularly sure I want to pursue that.
Ok, here's the gist of my undergraduate life (in reference particularly about my major):
I started off as a Biology major when I entered college at the University of Missouri, Kansas City. Found out shortly after that Biology was just not for me. I don't think it was actually the Biology, I think it had more to do with my lack of focus in my academics (as a whole) and way too much partying. Together, it made for a horrible combination that quickly led to an academic tragedy. (And to think I was at the top of my class with a 4.0 and all in high school :-O)
Anyhow, since I couldn't decide on another major I stuck with it for 3 years. :-O Finally, I decided to switch to Accounting, which I enjoyed a lot. So at Charleston Southern University, I was an Accounting major. That was when I met my husband and when we got engaged I moved to Beaufort, SC and started attending University of South Carolina, Beaufort. ((I'm only naming a few colleges but I have actually gone to 8 by the time I completed my undergrad. Yes, 8 colleges. What can I say..I can't make up my mind ;-) )).
They didn't offer Accounting as a major at USC but since I've already taken quite a few classes in the Business field, I chose Management (since that was the only concentration they offered for Business Administration). Management was alright. It wasn't my favorite but it had it moments. I would have much rather stuck to Accounting though.
Then when we weren't sure of whether he was reenlisting or not, I switched to online learning at the University of Maryland University College, which was where I graduated from. They did have Accounting there but at that point I had taken way too many Management classes to up and switch back to Accounting. So I wound up graduating with Management.
I think it was all pretty much circumstantial how I wound up with that major but I don't think I was wholeheartedly satisfied with it. I truly don't have a passion for Management. Granted, it is an easy career field to get into since it's very popular. It wouldn't be fair to me, though, to end up in a career that I truly don't enjoy.
So I have always had a passion for Forensic Science. I have always enjoyed Forensic Files, CSI, and the likes. I also do have a minor in Biology to help me out a bit if I decide to choose the 'science' route. I did my research and found out that the University of Florida offers Masters of Science in Pharmacy/Pharmaceutical Science with a concentration in Forensic DNA and Serology (distance learning). Apparently it is one of, if not *the* top university for Forensic Science. So that is what I am about 90% sure I'm going to get into this coming Spring 2011 semester.
I'm very excited!! :-) Again, there's the 10% of gray area, which is mainly made up of me browsing around to see if there's another career I would like to get into. But for the most part, I'm settled on pursuing this.
Okay, enough about me. So my husband and I are on to a new venture. Nothing's set in stone yet so I really can't say too much but I'm very excited about whatever it is that is going to come our way. As a quote goes, I don't know what my future holds but I know who holds my future. I truly believe God will guide us and help us make the right decision(s) so we can wind up in a new, and better place in our lives.
Well, that's all for now. I'm gonna go get ready to head to the gym. Oh, and that's another thing about myself. I've been working out a lot lately. I've gotten so stagnant the past few years and I've missed that 'activeness' in my life. So I've been hitting the gym and trying to get back into shape.
Until next time...
