Back to School!!!

Its not that its just Back to School time - its back to school time for me!!! I've resigned from my full-time consulting gig and have enrolled as a full-time student at IUPUI in Indianapolis!!! This decision wasn't made in haste, but it has still be a strange transition.

I hope to pursue a career as a Physician Assistant, but in order to do so, I need some clinical healthcare experience and several undergraduate science prerequisites. As a result, this semester, I'm taking Chemistry, Anatomy, and 2 Emergency medicine courses (EMT training). Upon completion of this semester I hope to work as an EMT for a hospital or in an emergency room - while continuing to take the prereqs for entrance into a PA program. OR at least, for the moment, that is the plan. Mind you, I've been known to change my mind. I may veer from my path a bit, but I'm super excited about the journey!!! I"ll try to keep you all updated as I step through this transitional period of my life.

By the way, having classes with 500 other students is weird. Also, when the students are young enough to be your children, that's weird too. But, I'm hanging in there = the old man in the class.

I'm also taking advantage of the free bus pass given to students and reducing my carbon footprint a bit. Prior to last week, I had never taken the public transportation system in my city (Indianapolis). And after having done so a few times now, I have to say, its really nice and convenient. Its not perfect, but it is free for me..and FREE is my favorite price, seriously.

Ok, back to studying I go...Anatomy text to read.....
