strange signs from even stranger places
The strangest thing happened yesterday...
I have been having second...or third thoughts about what exactly it is that I want to do. I decided about a year ago I want to go into a 7 year DVM/PhD program for veterinary medicine and epidemiology research. I thought that sounded grand and exciting.
It wasn't until recently it was brought to my attention that I would be 30 or so before I could even begin a career...and older before I would be able to start a family. I don't know how I feel about that. Since that realization, I have been looking out and considering other things. I have always loved birds, and I love research...it would take much less time to just choose one. But is that what I really want? I wonder if I would be satisfied having to choose.
All this is background information, of course, to what happened.
I was at the China Buffet with a friend and we had finished our meal. We got our fortune cookies. Hers said "You will soon receive a promotion" ...as per usual since they are usually facts or ridiculous things that always happen. However, when I opened my fortune cookie it read this: "You will prosper in the field of medical research." What are the odds of that? I was floored, and just sat there looking at it for a bit. Those cookies are hardly accurate, and never specific.
Maybe it's a sign? I suppose I can't be sure...but I am deffinately going to be looking much harder in that direction.
