Start your day off right!

So today I decided to eat a healthy breakfast. Typical my go-to morning meal is a nice big bowl of lucky charms, probably not the healthiest decision. Today instead, since it is cold outside and I didn't have class I had a Nature Valley granola bar (delicious!) and some water...Even better for you! I haven't had an apple yet, I will at dinner time.

And enough about my diet, because no one really cares about that. I think I have made a REALLY big decision about my life. I am 99.9% sure I will be joining the Air Force Reserves within the next few months and hopefully going to basic next summer (so I don't have to miss school). I am not exactly a supporter of war or anything like that, but I am a big fan of America and protecting our freedoms. Also, as a social work major, I can go into the mental health field within the Air Force and help soldiers. There are some people out their who exploit their military powers and make mistakes, but there are plenty of others who are just doing as they're told and trying to protect their home. Those people don't deserve to laughed at for feeling suicidal after returning home from war (which is sadly all too common). Anyways, the Reserves would pay for most of my college education and seeing as my education costs $30,000 a year I could use all the help I can get. I may have to take the fall 2011 semester off to go to training, but one semester isn't the end of the world. I would have to take an extra class every semester after, but I believe I could still graduate on time! Plus during that time off I could go through the process of becoming a Tennessee resident which would allow me to get in-state tuition and have ALL of my education payed for by the military. I'm sorry I'm rambling a TON; this is a big decision and all that I have been thinking about lately.

On a much happier note, HARRY POTTER comes out tonight! Oh my gosh, I adore those books. The movies aren't quite as good but they are just as addicting. I have grown up with these stories and it is kind of weird to think that they're about to end. I can't even imagine what it must be like for all of those actors; their entire lives have been centered around filiming the series. End geek ramble now :)
