Since I don't update livejournal anymore, and could hardly turn this into a respectable place for my thoughts anyway, I have created a public blog:

Cura Te Ipsum

Check it out and follow me (hopefully) from premed to MD. (Or watch me crash and burn. Come on, you know that would be fun too.) 

 Of course I would be planning to move back to Virginia to go to school right around the same time the asshole attorney general from the state decided to forbid sexual-orientation anti-discrimination legislation. Gee thanks dickwad; why don't be start giving out stimulus checks for hate-crimes while we're at it ( Read more... )

 One thing that I'm finding interesting (when I'm not finding frustrating) about the effort to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell, is that no one in opposition is actually coming out and saying that they think the ban is a positive thing for the military.

I've decided to apply to Goucher's post-baccalaureate pre-medical program for next year. This is in hopes that two years later (one of classes, one of applications) I will be able to go to medical school and become a doctor.

So I have no clue as to what to look for ( Read more... )

I spent the next five years writing my surefire best-seller. Five years, and it was the most terrible experience of my life. I could not get my characters to act like real people. I couldn’t get them to talk like real people. Hell, I couldn’t even get them through doors: 'Her hand reached toward the handle of the door.'. - .'Her hand extended ( Read more... )

I took the National Exam for massage yesterday and passed! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be after all my hours of pouring over practice tests. The whole experience was pretty nerve wracking, though, and after having achieved no sleep the night before, I celebrated my success by sleeping, reading and catching up on Lost. It's probably a ( Read more... )
