I want a Tiffany's ring for Christmas?

Well that's what someone believes according to all the advertising out there - I want a 20K eternity ring in platinum with emerald/princess cut bagettes...err, Cheryl - that gibberish is all your fault too many Martha Stewart magazines.
Actually what I want for Christmas other than a slipcover for our hideous pink Craigslist couch, or a myriad of other stuff from Ikea, or even Isa/Terry's new cookbook - Veganomicon (seriously more important than a slipcover - Herbivore is selling it...HINT, HINT) and whatever else, but instead I really want to know what I am to do with my life. Bloody hell, seriously what am I suppose to do?

What shall I do? And here's where you my readers come in - not that you really affect the course of my life - but regardless. I have my two minors more or less completed (Gerontology and Kinesiology) and now I'm trying to figure out about the 3rd one - I could finish Microbiology/Biochem and while in general it is fascinating - memorizing and following radioactive carbons through glycolysis, TCA to find out where they end up is going to push me over the edge... so what then? Leaha in her panic to find courses Monday night started rambling off titles for PoliSci courses and well folks I think I've found something greater than Starbucks - classes on Globalism, International Law and Human Rights(*giddy) - even better the minor requirements are dead simple - 9 lower div, 16 upper div - which for those doing their SFU math works out to 3 and 4 courses - 7 in total, plus my 4 Kines courses outstanding - I could be finished Christmas 08 or Spring 09 (more likely since I'll probably have to throw in a History course or two) and then do the yoga course in the Spring of 09. And then Regent? Eternal school...

Since I know Cheryl's vote is for me to drop the Yoga School and run head long for Regent- but here's the deal I need a job other than dealing with kicking kidlets or persnickety patients - not to mention the hours are better and it pays a hell of a lot better than my current jobs. So here is the crux of the matter:

This direction will put me on the path to writing... am I sufficiently talented? Or should I just suck it up, take the MBB courses and hedge my bets on a PA program in Portland?
