So. HEEEYYYY Everyone. Do you miss me? I have absolutely no life. My life consists of waking up at 6am, driving to Grayslake halfway asleep, drooling on the desk at school for three whole hours, and then going to work and coming home at 7. :(
So I hope everyone is doing well. I was having a particularly bad day a few days ago. Working in the doctor's office really sucks. I mean, it's kinda fun to see patients and all, but really, it sucks. I had a manic lady come in. I was talking to her about some of her history, every now and then she would stutter "refridgerator" and go back on with her conversation. I'm serious. Yikes.
So I got to thinking, what if I don't become a doctor. John was talking to me, and he really pushed me to get some sort of backup plan. I've been so anxious, because in all reality, I didn't have a back up. If I applied to med school and didn't get in, I don't know where I'd be. So I started to freak out. I go to bed at about 9:30 everynight, but that night I didn't sleep. At 12:00, it came to me.
I DONT WANT TO BE A DOCTOR
I am no longer pre-med. I am still a behavioral neuroscience major, biology minor and everything, but I am not going to deal with this organic chem and MCAT bullshit anymore. It's over!!!!! :) :) :) :)
So what am I going to do? Well I know for a fact that I don't want to be a counseling psychologist because I don't want to see patients. I'm more interested in the research of things. Ideally, I'd like to go to grad school in neuroscience or psychobiology or neuro-psychology or something; then end up as a researcher in a school or laboratory testing drugs and treatments on psychotherapy patients.
The nice thing is that my grades are steallar for the type of thing that I would like to do, so I could get into a really good grad school in the city. I'm really so happy right now, you don't believe.
In other news, I am not sick. Bloodwork came back mainly clear with a slight elevation in my glucose. No suprise there; I know it's coming at some point! I need to drop like 10 lbs. I will South Beach at some point, I swear, but right now I am very happy with my life and don't feel like not eating bread and fruit :) But I did get strep (probably from a patient), but Dr. Kyncl let me take a sample pack of zythromycin, so I didn't have to buy anti-biotics or anything. She offered to give me a shot of penicillin in the ass, but I said no thank you. :P
Tomorrow is Jake date with Kate. I am super-excited, I hope that this thing gives me many stories to talk about for the weeks to come.
I went to John's last night. He is too good to me. I love him :) We got potbelly's AAAANNNNDDD Oberweis ice cream, who's jealous? Hopefully I will get to see him this weekend!
Last but not least, I went to dinner with my parents tonight. Guess who was drinking at the bar of the Lantern? BILLY MARSH. SOOOO FUCKING SCARY If you don't know, he is that fucking weird kid I graduated with who keeps calling me and asking me out on dates when I say "no, I have a boyfriend," or "no, not interested" or "stop fucking calling me." The first time he ever called me, I was sitting in my dorm room. He goes, "wanna go to the movies and catch up on old times?" (Keep in mind I have never had a friendship OR aquaintence with this kid my whole life.) And I go "uh, I'm in Indiana." He asks how far, I lie and say "7 hours." He goes, "Well, that's not too far, so do you want to go?" Are you fucking kidding me? I have told this fucker to stop calling me so many times now. Rar. Anyway, I told Matt to beat him up or get all his friends and beat him up, but Matt says "that kid is fucking huge, I am not doing anything." Ok, when my egomaniac brother won't do it, that sucks.
Love all, Tina
