What’s been up lately.

Not everything gets into daily posts. They often get too long and some things end up getting cut.  Not that they’re less important, but they may just not “fit” into that post at the time. 

Well, here’s what has been going on lately behind the posts…

• I’ve made a daring career choice.

In my sophomore year, I switched my major from Pre-Pharm to Nutrition Science and somehow lost touch in my goal to go into the field of medicine. However, I’ve still been taking the “pre-med” path with loads of difficult sciences and other challenging classes, unlike the (much easier) courses offered in other nutrition curriculum that would lead to the same career as a nutritionist.

To take full advantage of the difficult curriculum I’ve already been through, I’ve decided to follow through with the medical path and aim for medical school.

From that jumping point, I’ve landed on one very ambitious career choice of becoming a sports medicine physician.

That’s a huge goal and a huge change. Medical school, residency, having to move, another 7 years of schooling, just getting into medical school…it’s a lot to take in.  But as exciting as it is, I can’t count my eggs before they hatch. 

I know how hard it is to get into medical school.  I know I’m not the most competitive student.  I know it will take a lot to even be considered for medical school.  But I believe I can do it.

The application for medical school will have to go in sometime this year.  So I’ll be getting pretty busy with preparing for it.  Here’s what has to be done:

1. Consistently volunteer with physicians.
2. Volunteer other places.
3. Study my bum off.  All A’s from here on out.  *gulp*
4. Take the MCAT. Starting to study now!
5. Manage to do all of it without going insane.

There, that’s not so bad!

• My camera is gone for the next 4-6 weeks. 

I sent it into get cleaned a few days ago thinking it would only take a few days.  Turns out, it’ll be gone for over a month!! I miss it!

Thankfully, my parents have their camera fort me to use while home. 

• Had my first experience at a consignment shop.

And had the hardest time choosing something.  It was all top line stuff, but I’m more used to spending very little on a lot of cheaper clothes rather than a lot on one piece of clothing.  It was hard to feel like I was getting a deal!

I did walk away with a very nice Ann Taylor pencil skirt for $30, though!!  I’ve been looking for a good one of these.

(Only to later find out it’s on sale from Ann Taylor for $30 anyway.  But they’re all sold out, so I still got lucky.)

• New goal: drink water. A lot of it.

It’s hard for me to drink enough water.  Some days I get plenty while other days I’ll ignore thirst for the sake of being too lazy to get a drink. 

I’ve tried other methods of being sure to drink enough water with no avail until finally finding something that works:

Filling up a gallon jug in the morning and being sure I’m through it by the end of the day.  It helps keep track of how much is actually going into my body.

So far, I love it!  It has really curved my hunger so I’m not always grabbing food when really, I’m just thirsty!

• Michael and I shouldn’t play games together without an official referee.

We started the day playing games just for fun and ended it arguing over why one of us shouldn’t have won, that the rules were botched, the cards weren’t shuffled correctly…yadda, yadda.

Bottom line: neither of us were right because we didn’t know the official rules for most the games. 

Not knowing rules + him needing to win + me wanting the last say = nobody wins. (Except me. )
