First Decision Made!

This morning I enrolled in my first course on the path. It may be considered a namby-pamby course by some, but I think it's perfect for me. It's through Thompson Rivers Uni Open Learning section. It's Career and Education Planning 12. Yes, a high school course. It will help me decide on the best way to pursue midwifery education, will help teach me time management, self-confindence, study habits, creating a CV, and involves a career planning project which of course, I will do on midwifery. I think it's simply the best choice for me at this time. I need to re-learn how to be a student, and I'm happy with my decision. It should arrive in about a week.

I ordered an "Aspiring Midwife" t-shirt through CafePress. It may seem a bit silly, but it's important to me. I know the hardest part of pursuing midwifery for me is going to be sustaining interest in the prep work to apply, ie. all the courses I need to take which are mostly irrelavent to midwifery. So, this is going to help. I also got one of SMS's 25th anniversary posters which have a lovely art print of being 'with women'. It's gorgeous and I'm going to get it boarded or framed to hang in my bedroom to inspire me.

I need lots of inspiration to succeed.
