D-Day

No this is not the invasion of Normandy that I was talking about in my History Lecture the other day. This is the day of my big decision.

As many of you know I applied to the Polar Scholar program at the University of Northern Iowa hosted at the PE4Life Academy in Grundy Center Iowa just before I went abroad. Throughout this semester I have been in contact with Rick Schupack who runs the program through e-mail and Skype. I conducted an interview with the big wigs in Grundy center through Skype and set a date to reply to them with my decision as May 1st. So in essence I brought this hefty decision date down on myself.

I made lists of pros and cons and hemmed and hawed over it for way to long.

Pros

• 1 year masters degree
  
• amazing opportunity to learn from the best
  
• teaching experience and education
  
• hands on opportunity to learn about Heart rate monitors and Technology in PE
  

Cons

• Middle of Nowhere IOWA
  
• Starts 20 days after I get back into the country
  
• Will be full time work and I won’t be able to have a job to make money for my living expenses
  
• I don’t like making decisions
  

So I made a decision, and carried it around for a while and finally last chance I had sent in my e-mail.

I’m going to IOWA!!!!!!!
