GUYS!
I am super excited right now- I think I am going to try my hand at programming. I have gotten into a medical school (woohoo!!), and although I have to wait until march-ish for the rest of my schools, I am happy that I got in SOMEWHERE, considering my situation.
Unfortunately, though, it is slowly becoming painfully obvious that I might have to wait another year before going back to school. Now, if this was last year and I was in this situation, I would have been very, very upset (it's a good thing it's not last year, right?). I'm still a little upset now, but it's more because of a feeling of getting old than unhappiness with my life. Getting a new job where people appreciate/actually like me, and moving back home has done wonders for my state of mind.
However, now that I've gotten into school, a lot of the pressure that was in my life (a lot of it self inflicted but still!) has evaporated. Now all the time I used to spend obsessing over OMGZ, WHAT I AM DOING WITH MY LIFE??? is gone. This is great, but I honestly had no idea I spent so much time thinking about my future (and so depressingly at that)!
I have nothing to do with all of this free mental space, and although I love my job, it can be a bit boring- I haven't done anything remotely mentally challenging in a looooooong time. Hence the decision to program.
We'll see how it works out (besides, how else am I going to make my bajillions of dollars?)
