I want to save the world, dammit.

I've been perusing Tulane's website because I know they have a badass tropical medicine program and well, it's in NOLA. I don't feel as if I want to put full forth effort into a PhD because I don't really have the patience to teach at the university level. So I cam across this Program which can be completed in a single Fall semester AND if I choose to pursue a Masters in Public Health & Tropical Medicine, these classes could go towards that degree. But I'm not planning on quitting my job at the big O so I would have to do it in 2 at least. I'm making some calls tomorrow to see when the classes are actually offered.  I could probably take on more weekends to get more off days during the week to take classes. (Did I really just say that?!? Who am I?) Also, I think the big O pays for X amount of classes if you choose to go to school while working - I just don't know how they would take me taking classes to potentially leave them in a few years. We shall see....

Ta Da!

So here it is, the first post! Exciting??? Not so much.

Some background.  I've had a private LiveJournal account for the past 12-ish years.  I'm no way in hell about to make that public.  Plus I wanted to have a space where I didn't talk about boys and crappy people - frankly, I just wanted a space to talk about glorious me! Ha. 

I want a space to talk about the hellacious half marathon and marathon training I'm about to endure. I want to talk about my never ending climb of the career ladder and then possibly chucking all that out the window to follow a life of international nutrition and tropical health. 

Sometimes I'm scared shitless, others I'm racing off with blind confidence.  I'm pretty much going to use this blog to talk about it. Ya heard?
