Summer
Eeep. I should update this more.
Anyway, its summer...2 months until Im back in Tampa continuing with my Sophomore year in college. Time is flying by, nowadays, and I still feel like I am a child. Maybe its the fact that my parents pay for everything, education, boarding, car, food. Im working about 22 hrs a week this summer, but who knows if that is enough to save towards wanting to Study Abroad in France and having some extra spending money. The only thing I DO know is that Im going to have to grow up a bit more than I have in the past year. It feels like time is dwindling towards my having to apply to med school...or grad school depending. And then having a job while still going to grad/med school and supporting myself in the future, seems like a crazy idea. It seems everyone is growing up faster than me, or maybe its because I am hanging out with people older than me. Most notedly I have been spending time with soon to be Seniors and I hear them talk about a job in the future and graduating. Then there was my roommate this year who flew off to Sweden for grad school to live with her boyfriend. I know Im only going to be a sophomore,but being around these things, makes live seem so crazy and fast. LJ has always been my pal for whining and complaining. Right now, I think Im merely pointing out facts. Im confused about how life works if youre seeing someone who will be graduating this year...and you still have 2 years (if it works out, you know)
Anyhow, other than that, Ive been looking towards the immediate. Need to work on a checklist of what it takes to get into med school and become a doctor, so I can stick to it and work harder than I have been. Shadow a doctor, continue undergrad research, get my name on a few papers...do my homework/study for As, volunteering. Join AMSA and get MCAT practice.
Maybe next time I POST here, it will be during 1st semester and organic chemistry will be easy!
Im off to maintain my youth and play Runescape.
Next Saturday I am attending a Gay Pride Parade, which will be quite awesome.
Toodles,
Ashley
