Acheivement Unlocked: I Get Knocked Down...

So, Intrawebz.
Adventure. But nothing I enjoyed. Basically I had a WONDERFUL (please note: Sarcasm) trip to the Hospital.
Thinking I should most likely get my act in gear and never have to have another trip like that ever again. So, Diabetes has kicked me thoroughly once again, and to add insult to injury, apparently there is something acting up with my Liver. Ah well, I'm sure ze doctors will let me know what's going on once they figure it out. Medical Mystery am I, I feel like I should be on an episode of House or Scrubs or something.
Which really doesn't make me feel that great.
On the other hand, I know have meetings galore coming up over the next month with doctors, nurses, dietitians, and even a refresher course on how to effectively deal with my Diabetes. Which will be nice. It's about freaking time that I've gotten myself in order or actually really TRIED to take care of myself. Even now, I have so many bad habits from over the years that it's going to take a while before I truly get a handle on things. In the end, it'll be worth it, though. Just unfortunate that it's kicking me when I'm down though.
Trying to figure out what to do with my life, career wise. It's hard when you know that you want to go back to school, but there are so many things out there that interest you that you could, ostensibly, qualify for. There are lots of people who complain about not having many choices to pick from in life, that their life is fairly set. But, I find that having TOO many choices is just as bad, if not worse. I'm always second guessing myself, or thinking that the goals I'm setting for myself are much too ambitious. Or not nearly ambitious enough. It's a delicate balance, and I feel stretched to my limits sometimes.
For now, career choice at the moment is Foreign Service, for the Political/Economic departments. It looks like it would be something that interests me, but I'm not 100% convinced that it's what I want to do. I like having some stability in my life, and I'm not entirely sure how much change or how often the change occurs. I really feel like I should know by now at least a general direction of where I want to go, what with a lot of my friends coming up on their last year of University, and starting to look for jobs following their degrees.
The other thing, is that the CFS requires you to have a University Degree before you're allowed to even apply for the entrance aptitude tests.
It'll be a long road to get there, and I'm not even sure if it's what I want to do. Especially because I can't even decide on what to go back to school for.
Too many choices. Too little time.
...And I SO want to get out of retail.
Alright, time to end that rant, put on my thinking cap, and finally decide what to do.
Moping time is over, New chapter of my life has begun once again.
...Doesn't help that Mulan's "I'll Make A Man Out Of You" is playing. Totally pumping me up.

P.S. I have GOT to stop eating junk food. Seriously, it's making me even more lazy than I was previously. Bad Habit to kick #1? I think so.
