Yeah.

Which one are you going to do?

And then two weeks later, I packed up my 1988 Plymouth Sundance and drove from New York to L.A.

learning my parts along the way.

And then two days later, we were opening up for James Brown at the House of Blues.

So kind of a kind of a crazy little whirlwind of time.

That is so cool.

I love that.

And you know, that is something that that thought process was exactly the thought process I had when I had applied to get my master's degree from Chapman University.

I had just been accepted.

The same week I was accepted to Chapman for my master's, I got the call about doing Girl Meets World.

And I was like, but I thought I was for sure going to go forward and get my master's.

And now this came up, what should I do?

And it was like,

doing girl meets world is never going to come around again.

Getting to play Topanga 20 years after the show ended is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

I can always go back and get my masters at any time.

And you, you do, you always go for the, the, the once in a lifetime, not so safe necessarily, but always take that risk in my opinion.

Yeah, and for me, I was like, all right, I was kind of laying out this plan, like, all right, I'm going to either, you know, join like EMS, New York City EMS or the fire department or maybe even go to, you know, nursing school because I was still like doing like reserve training.

So I was like, oh, I can get the army to maybe do my nursing school.
