sharing different heartbeats

After a long talk on the phone with my mother last night, during which I cried, I've decided not to pursue medicine. This is momentous, dear reader, because for the first time in my memory, I really do not know what I'm going to do with my life, but it's a wonderful feeling. I feel liberated, and entitled now to do whatever I love. Instead of

Hmm...I'm not sure how I feel about Saddam either - but of course, I don't keep up with the news and don't know all the details (although who does?), so I don't feel justified in making an opinion.

But I agree. More death doesn't seem to solve anybody's problems. Why we have the death penalty baffles me. Fighting death with death, though it sounds weird, isn't where society should be. Unfortunately, most of my philosophy class disagreed with me : /

Congratulations on your decision! I'm so excited for you about that.
It was so nice to see you yesterday even though we didn't really get to talk much. Everytime I talk to you it amazes me again how much we're going through the same emotions about life. I guess it's a soul sister thing. ;^D
I hope to see you soon for a real talking session!
lov you tons!

Oh Esin, of COURSE you'll touch the world! It's so obvious! You profoundly impact every single person you ever come into contact with! So, even though you're not Premed anymore, you'll find more spiritual ways to save the world. And what a lucky world it is to have you! I'm really glad you're following your heart. You sound so excited and I'm so excited for you! I love you!!!!

i'm glad you've come to terms with your mother + premed, and that it only took you one semester (less than) to do it. [i ended up slightly screwing myself over last year by continuing on the biochemistry (similar to a premed, but with more chem) track for spring semester, and now i am working like crazy to counter those not-so-wonderful grades this semester.] parents can be hard to please and hard to read as far as expectations go sometimes. i didn't realize how much the desire for my parents' approval affected me, especially when i was younger, until i had to write a personal narrative for one of my creative writing classes -- in retrospect, everything seems so much easier to understand, and all those little pressures i put on myself now are due in part to the notions i had of my parents' approval of my choices.

and those wendesdays with classes from 9 to 3 won't be too terrible; last semester i had classes from 8:30 to 4:20, and that was easily tolerable. at least your classes are only an hour long :>
