Decisions Suck

So... Joe and I took a trip to Long Beach this summer, to check out the area and visit CSU. It was amazing there, I loved the city and the school was perfect. Oh and by the way, I finally found a job - at LA Fitness. Not the most glamorous, and I am still looking for something else, but it'll do for now.


So anyway, I've been working on my application, letters of rec, etc. and now it turns out the CSU system has taken a huge budget cut, and they are capping enrollment for spring semester and if they do allow applications for next fall, they will be dramatically decreasing enrollment. Wonderful. If I'm even allowed to apply, I most likely wont get in. Especially since I've heard they take locals before out of state applicants. So now what? Granted I will still keep an eye on it and apply if they let me... I still need a back up plan. So do I stay in Milwaukee and work for a few years? Save some money before I go anywhere? Or should I quickly find another school that has a grad program I'm interested in? Ugh!

They do have a couple of cool MS Exercise Science programs in Colorado. I would love to go there, but I don't know if I have enough time and money to visit the school or anything by next fall. Apartments there are waaaay cheaper than Cali was, and much nicer and bigger for the price. Plus a lot of them seem to allow pets, and that was a problem I was having finding a Cali apartment.

And if I stay here for now... what would I do? There are no decent jobs in Milwaukee in my field right now, trust me I've looked. So I would most likely be stuck personal training and teaching fitness classes for a few years. But I kind of just want to get out of here...and do something with my life. But the sad this is I don't even know what I want to do! There are so many directions i can go in my field, like cardiac rehab or other medical jobs, sports or fitness management, outdoor recreation, any many more! And maybe I shouldn't go to grad school until I'm absolutely sure of a direction. ugghh this is so frustrating. I hate making decisions...
