You know you really want something genuinely when it kicks you in the face (it was a total surprise, and you weren't ready for it), you cry yourself to sleep and nearly ruin your digestive abilities with worrying, and you wake up in the morning: clear of purpose and still wanting it.
This is my love affair with Pre-Med.
Because I'm starting it so late (Sophomore year is late?), I have two options: Abandon the early entrance program to George Washington Medical School (which would give me an automatic in to the school, and not require me to take the MCATs) and just Major in Medecine in my own time, or attempt to squeeze into the program Indiana Jones style. With a rock rumbling at my heels and the door to the temple closing almost too quickly for me to get under it.
Mostly because the program requires three chem classes, two math classes, three bio classes, two physics classes. None of which I have taken yet. To be finished before the end of this year. And I have to apply to be in the program... nnnow. That means dropping my current classes (except Chemistry 101) and chaining myself to SMC. It would probably be the worst year of classes in my life ever (jumping from no hard sciences into all hard sciences... all of which I must get a B- or higher in) but at the end of it, I would have an assured future, and an easier trip through the rest of college.
But seriously. Ten classes in three terms (one term: three classes, usually) of subjects that have in previous incarnations totally killed me. I don't doubt that I'm smart enough and driven enough to do it. I just don't know if I have the willpower necessary to keep up a long burn like that for a whole year.
I'm supposed to talk to the Pre-Med advisor sometime soon. Maybe she'll shed some light on everything.
Also my goddamn keyboard still doesn't work, and I still don't know why. Grah.
Now breakfast.
