The Step

I contacted IIN and signed up and gave them my down payment not having a clue how the rest was going to come to me.  But if I didn't commit now, I would over analyze and talk myself into waiting until I could afford it, time and money wise.  So I took that step not seeing the rest of the staircase.
I tried to let go and let God as they say.  I tried to visualize that money being in my account as it was needed. I tried working out a budget where I could make the payments.  I tried to see the rest of the staircase.
I had 4 days until my full payment or the first of 3 large payments were coming due...
So I put on my big girl panties and sucked it up and called my Uncle and asked for help.  Yes it was a hard decision for me. I tried every scenario I could come up with to pay for school all on my own and each one was a bad decision, period.  The phone call went without a hitch.  I called and asked for a small investment in me as a low-interest school loan that I fully intend to pay back.  Told him about what I wanted to do, he asked some questions and put the check in the mail.
NOW WHAT!  I am fully committed and have someone to answer to if I don't use the money wisely, by getting certified and doing something good.  Sit and wait.
Once IIN received my tuition I started receiving my supplies in the mail.  The Integrative Nutrition book by Joseph Rosenthal, a journal to write in, a metal water bottle, a work book and a scented heart-shaped sachet.  I had already purchased the IN book but had not read it yet.  An abundance of welcome e-mails started arriving and an encouragement to read the book.  I had it on Kindle and there was an option for it to be read to me, so I started listening to it on my commute.  REALLY DIGGING IT!  You also receive a PDF file of the same book, lol, now I have 4 copies.
There is something about Fundamentals I am suppose to be doing to get accustom to how the class modules were going to be before the actual classes start.  Pre-work, like homework but different.  I had no clue what the Fundamentals were, where I could find them or anything and I thought goodness gracious if I can not even figure out how to do the practice round I am thoroughly screwed.  Received my IPad Mini (it came with the tuition) and went to find Wi-Fi to set it up and could not figure out how to get any of that done either.  OH BOY what have I gotten myself into.  (so some negative self-talk started, and then I saw a post from Amy P about her boys and gave that up quickly-didn't want them sitting on my head!)
Finally hooked the IPad to the computer at work to get it set-up and found the Fundamentals!!  Tried it again on a public Wi-Fi and it worked like a gem.  I did not have Wi-Fi at home at this time so I was going to have to do all my school work in public (read in your best Ron White voice, I did).  Ok I have got this!
A trip I had scheduled BEFORE taking the step was coming up quickly and I did not have my book finished and I did not have my Fundamentals finished and when I come back there are only 2 weeks before my first Module started-EEK!  I downloaded as many of the Fundamentals as I could on my IPad and my book was on my Kindle Fire, made sure everything was charged up and made sure all my chargers and earbuds were packed where they were handy.  All seemed to be going according to plan B.  Then I realized I had only downloaded parts of the Fundamentals and not all of them early on in the trip.  Thank goodness I was traveling with someone who had a hot spot on their phone that I could use.  Take a moment to be thankful.  Got half of the Fundamentals knocked out and most of the book on my trip.  The rest would have to be sped through once I got home and caught up with all the other stuff.
The night before I left on my trip we finally got the Wi-Fi up and running at home!!  This made me very thankful and HAPPY!  I could now do homework at home, where is should be done.
Now all I had to do was finish the book and the other 2 Fundamentals in two weeks and get ready for my first Module!
