I want to do the AT
So I think I've decided that I'm not going to go to school in the spring of 09. I'm going to take a semester off and do something I won't have the time for at any other point in my life. I want to hike the whole Appalachian trail. That's 2,176 miles of hiking and I want to do it all. That means I will disappear from the face of the earth for a whole 6 months. I think this is one of the most powerful decisions I've made in my entire life and I really want it to happen.
I have been thinking about it a lot recently. I was thinking about how I need to get my sciences done so that I can get to med school, so I can intern, so I can get a job, so I can have a grown up life and make babies and be happy. I keep giving people the advice that if they really want something all they have to do is reach for it. It isn't that hard to survive because you have everything you need to make it from day to day. I realized today that if I don't pick when and keep putting it off I'll never be able to do it. I should take my advice more often cause I feel better for reaching.
