If only the answer really was as simple as 42. I apologize that this blog has evolved into the whiny outlet I turn to when I don't know what to do with my life. Too many choices & too little time can be paralyzing. That's right, Ladies and Gents, I again find myself wondering what to be when I grow up. Perhaps I should start by stating my best case scenario and then work backwards to determine the steps necessary to achieve those goals.
My dream job would be to be speech language pathologist (preferably in a school system, on a school schedule) and a part-time yoga instructor. With a summer house in Italy, obviously. The SLP/yoga instructor combo would be the ideal balance (pun intended) between work and play, allowing me to physically and mentally help others as well as to spend my life challenging myself with things I enjoy. And the summer house in Italy? Well, a girl can dream.
So, sounds like I've got it all figured out, don't it? The problem is that these are the things I want to be doing NOW, not 5 years from now. First I have to put in the time, work and money (blood, sweat and tears) before I can live the dream. And I'm having trouble building up the momentum. I'm starting the grad school application process and am feeling overwhelmed. Any words of wisdom or advice from people who've been through this would be greatly appreciated.
