Full Steam Ahead

So, along with my well-practiced pain avoidance, I have learned that I also avoid hard work (well, I guess the both are intimately linked). I know that my close friends will read this and nod, being glad that I'm finally acknowledging it. I am at a crossroads.

I am starting 12 credits worth of summer school next week.
I have 12 more credits to take in the fall semester.
I am teaching a new subject next year.
The deadline for applying to nursing school is Jan 2011.
I'd also like to lose my Ella ell-bees. (baby weight)

My norm is to ignore what I want, live in the mediocrity that feels comfortable, and defeatedly accept the failures that come with not trying. I think this is most appropriately labeled being a victim. I don't want to be this person anymore.

I want to throw myself into life with abandon. The old Meghan would have somehow avoided moving forward to this goal of nusring--well, actually I have avoided it for 6 years. The new Meghan is going to work her tukus off and make it to January. No excuses. No whining. Hold me to it.
