So here I am, 20 years old sitting at my computer desk studying microbiology. A junior at D'Youville college about ready to enter my clinicals and do I know what I wanna do with my life, NO!! One moment I wanna be a nurse another moment I wanna be a nurse practioner and a moment after that I wanna be a physician assistant. Can I change my major, of course but that means more years of college and starting all over again. Although I do have the rest of my life ahead of me.

How do I know I'm doing the right thing? It seems ever sense I entered HS everybody was so concerned about what I was going to do with the rest of my life. Maybe I wanna be a nurse, maybe a wanna be a psychologist, maybe I wanna be a firefighter, I donno. It just seems I was forced to pick a career.

I'm having second thoughts about nursing, like I wanna do something more. I've been researching Physicians assistants and that just seems like what I wanna do. Nursing is great but it's main focus is about caring for the patient when what I really wanna do is diagnose, treat, even get into the OR. Luckily I found many schools where the PA program is offered one of the requirements is having a BA plus at least one clinical experience. So this means that having a nursing background will be perfect and i'll beable to decide then if I wana be eithor a PA or NP. I'm actually hoping that once I het my BSN at D'Youville i'll beable to work a year or two and gain residence so when I do attent grad school, hopefully at UF, I'll have instate tuition.

I hope I know what I"m doing

Totally off the topic but I"m watching Conan right now and Good Charlotte is on, I'm so increadibly pissed about how much they sold out. I remember when I idolized them when no one else knew who they hell they were. Going to their shows where there was only like 50 people there. Now when ever I hear them or seem them I wanna puke.

Another off the subject matter, my mom bought me a bed today! I'm sooo excited I don't have to sleep on that daybed anymore. It comes friday and its a queen size. The last big bed I slept on was Kerri's...lol Now I can streach out like I use to. My mom was trying to convince me to get a full but i figure I'm going to have this mattress for a long time and what happens when I move out and I have "guests". I made a deal with my mom, she guys the mattress and I buy the conferter and the sheets, way more expensive when what i thought, $150. And that was cheep!

Back to studying for my HUGE microbiology exam tomorrow, wish me luck, i'll need it
