there are so many things to think about! Jeez. But I'm kind of just really excited about the prospect. And I kind of just signed my life away... to my family!
So here's the downlow: my family will pay for Italy (fucking 20 grand for 4 months!!) and I, in return, will go to pharmacy school. What a deal right? Mary, Joseph, Jesus, what did I do?? Now I'm researching ways to fulfill the prerequisites (thank Dartmouth for my liberal arts education!) and looks like I will be going to UCSD and USD right after I come back from Italy. Then in two years, I hope I'll get into the skagg school of Pharmacy at UCSD.
BUT
I think I may have kicked myself in the ass. I really like optometry (having interned for 2 years at the RCMRC hospital, I really enjoy what they do). But my uncle, the MD, argues that pharmacy is more exciting and more in demand. Well... dilemma right? Because 1. it's not part of the initial deal 2. I'm on the fence. It could go either way. I could really turn out to like pharmacy or I could end up hating it. I know I like optometry, but when I get out of school, it could kick me in the ass and the market is not in need of optometrists. Fuck man.
On the bright side, I've been having a lot of fun with Paul and John. They're both so cute and they are basically like my kids since I spend all my "free" time with them, teaching them things, taking them out to places, etc. I really can't wait to have my own children. They seriously are going to kick other childrens' asses, just like John and Paul will. :) I just need to get my life in order after Italy and I think I will be good. God, please do not let me mess up.
Work has been ok, but I think I am ready to leave... that is, right before Italy, so I have an excuse. I love kids, but not in mass. I don't know how many times I say "sit down right now" in an hour.
I don't know why lj is not working in this cafe but hopefully I can get this to post somehow. Anyway, I'm off to this pho saigon place on bowery st (i love having friends in the city who know the hot spots. Supposed to be pretty amazing.) :) And that's another tough decision... whether I want to be out in NY or CA in a few years. ::sigh:: I've always loved both places for different reasons but I'm so conflicted!!
Tananananana, if you're reading this, hit me up so we can hang out and help me decide!!
