I just did some thinking about my future. I'm definitely going to URI this fall for either pre-med or nursing. The curriculum is basically the same, but going into nursing will keep my options open after college. I'll have no problem finding a well-paid job and college will be almost completely paid for by nursing scholarships. I can still go to medical school if I feel like it's the right thing for me to do. I really want to be a doctor, and i'm not afraid of eight years of school, but i'll be 26 when i'm done. and then i have to start an eight year residency meaning i will not be a full-on doctor until i'm 34. That means that i won't really be able to start a family until i'm done my residency. I'd be happy with being a nurse but i feel like i can and should do more than that. I don't know...maybe i'm thnkning wayyyy too far ahead because i'm barely 18 and i have at least 4 years of college to figure myself out. I think i'm jsut excited to finally be done high school in what?......48 days?!?!....yea that's what i thought. I can't wait to start my own life.
I got numbah.....how do you like them apples??
