I'm getting on the ticker bandwagon. No, I'm not knocked up. It's the countdown to the end of all math. All the math I'm required to take, not the end of all math, period. That would be ridiculous. The universe would cease to function. There would be chaos.
I'm blaming my lack of blogging of late on my academic pursuits. Calculus is kicking my ass right now, and trigonometric differentiation is holding me down so it can beat me like it means it. The end of math is in sight. I can do it. Also I had to write a stupid paper, but now it's done, cited and everything.
In other news, I've been contemplating a slight change of direction with the whole higher education thing. My passion still lies in food, there is no questioning that, but exactly what I want to do with food is up for debate. The dietetics program has caught my eye, particularly since it has recently been changed to include a fifth year clinical practicum. Previously it was up to graduates to find an internship of their own, which proved to be near impossible and so many people graduated but never got their R.D. Now everyone who finishes the program will automatically get the practicum, and thus their R.D. designation (assuming you pass licensing exams). It will take the same amount of time as if I were to do the education thing, and the first two years of the program are virtually the same as the Food, Nutrition, and Health one I have been working towards, so I won't have lost any ground if I decide to switch, and I've got a comfy amount of time to decide. The appeal of doing dietetics and becoming a R.D. is the flexibility the field offers. I could work in a hospital, as a community dietitian, or I could be my own boss and have a clinical practice. The longer I work in aquatics the more appealing being my own boss becomes. So, big decisions, but lots of time to figure things out.
Oh, and today is my three-and-a-half year anniversary with my smokin' hot fella, who I fall more and more in love with as each day passes. And he's out of town, so I am getting the carpets cleaned! Hurray!

LOL, when i saw that ticker i didn't actually read the details i was like omg PREGNANT!!, then i looked closer and i thought, oh, weight goal, then i was severely dispointed to read it was about math.
Can't ya just pretend?
Congrats on your anniversary!
Congrats, Katie.
Truth be told, I didn't even SEE the ticker until you pointed it out :)
And clean carpets are a good thing :)
Nice flowers.. ooh, that's the Ticker thing.. :)
Happy anniversary to the two of you.. glad it is getting better all the time!
If you aren't aware, Mignon Hackette, dietician for the pool, might be a good person to go to for the dirt on what that whole sorta job is REALLY like, since she's doing both hospital and private work, along with some educational stuff...
today i was sitting in class and there was an algebra equation on the board from the class before and i had this total grade 11 panic flashback moment. i thought of you and how you are braving math.
hey, do you have a myspace page? i wish you did. can you join as a present to me? www.myspace.com

update your blog, lady!
even a small one --
the people want information!
Hows about you update my blog so I can concentrate on differentiating parametric equations? You email me a post, and I'll post it. Fo shizzle.
Yup, thats one thing one must never do when commenting on Katie's blog: Suggest/Mention/Demand/Ask her to update her blog.
Big no-no
I would love to post on your blog sometime! I'll try to think about something to write about...
:)
