----------------
i am super frustrated at the moment.
with everything.

1. i went to the doctor today and found out that my foot is "badly strained".
thank goodness there were no broken bones/fractures.
but there's nothing i can really do except for walk on it and take tylenol and soak it in warm water.
i feel like an idiot walking around because it takes me forever to get anywhere
and i'm a little worried about riding my bike again.
i don't want to crash.
again.
anyway, my foot looks like "an old diabetic woman's foot" [thank you, jon] and i guess it will for a little while longer.
i'm praying it heals quickly.

2. my plan for today was to go to campus and talk to a career advisor about my options.
i don't want to be a spanish teacher.
i don't think it's right for me.
and i've come full circle and realized that i just want to be an elementary school music/esl teacher.
so, i'm thinking my options are to either
a. keep going to school here and graduate with a BA in spanish ed/english ed and be completely miserable
b. keep going to school here, but try to petition to change my major [since i have a lot of credits, that could be difficult/near impossible]
or
c. transfer to uvu [which might not even be possible because of the amount of credits i have].
i talked about it with a couple of friends and just got discouraged.
i feel like my dream will never come true.
i feel like i made a huge mistake.
i feel out of place and unhappy.


basically,
i feel stuck.



i'm sorry for the downer post.
tomorrow will be better.
i promise.

Kellie: You might want to consider staying with the Spanish Ed major and finish that. Then you would have a teaching certificate. You could then check to see what it would take to add a music endorsement to that certificate. Something to check anyway. Hang in there.

(i agree with dad - just finishing might be the best thing you can do)

did i ever tell you about how i wiped out on my bike a week before my wedding? for real - it was awful and i was bruised all over and had scabby elbows and knees that went away JUST in time for the wedding. so count your blessings. ;)
