Try not to dwell

Looking at these college catalogs, and trying to decide on what major that I want to pursue is a lot more challenging than I expected it to be. I'm trying to pick something that will complement the time and money that I spent on my diving education. That hasn't been so easy. I've been looking at schools in Houston, so that I don't have to deal with out of state tuition - it's a killer, it is after all a city built on oil wealth. It's also been tough trying to narrow all that down. On one hand I really do enjoy government and political science, however I'm not exactly sure how I would be able to make a living at it. I did look up, "How to make a living with a political science degree", the one that really stuck out at me was being a civil servant. I wonder how truly feasible that is for me given my record and past transgressions. I am also looking at some kind of an engineering degree, but I'm not sure how strong at math I am anymore. It's been many years since I've attempted any kind of serious math problems. I'll probably find out when I go to take my college entrance exam. Also looking at something in the healthcare field. Maybe health care administration or perhaps health care information administration. Maybe a safety management degree, or is it certification? Not sure, I'm standing at a cross roads here. Regardless, I'm going to start school in January, I've never been more sure of something. Other than moving to Seattle. :)

This is some tired and true advice, don't dwell on the things that you cannot change. It's taken me a while to finally get to the point where I feel confident and comfortable doing this. It has been a long and arduous road, but for the first time in my life I feel that I can do this thing we call life, with a clearer head. It has been a tough couple of years, I've harbored a lot of negativity and resentment, I have wallowed in a lot of self destructive behavior and really handicapped my potential in succeeding in life. So I have a late start, and it's comforting to know that I am able to still play ball.
