Well, I'm back (I never left, I just haven't been on here) after two wonderful weeks of R&R, Nate left this morning to go back over seas. I will not see him for another 10 to 12 months, perhaps longer if he is extended. Breaks my fucking heart...
In other news... I am officially a pre-med student. Yes, it sounds ridiculous, and even I'm still getting used to the sound of it.
As you all know, I'm about to re-take the NREMT exam so that my license to practice doesn't lapse. Annndddd after a talk with my husband and my mother in law, I decided to say fuck nursing, live up to my potential and apply for a med school when I finish my bachelors. So0o, as of this semester my curriculum is pre-med. It's going to take for friggen ever now though because now I have a whole different set of math/science/chem requirements. I'm curious as to how the labs requirements are going to work out later on due to the online courses.Anyway.......
I know I can do it, I'm just impatient and perhaps it sounds a bit pretentious, but I know that if I don't go through with this I would feel like I half-assed my education and my potential.I'm done fucking around and I refuse to not live up to everything I am capable of being for fear of anything. It's taken me quite awhile to fully grasp this realization, and it took other people pointing it out to me to come to it. This isn't one of those "oh, you can be whatever you want" dreams or the like, because I truly believe that the cold hard reality is that not everyone is capable to become whatever they want, not everyone has what it takes to be a world class actor, or dancer, or doctor, writer, whatever. But I know that I have what it takes. I have the brains, I have the tenacity and I have a genuine interest and passion for the medical field. I can't say I don't care that I sound arrogant, but this isn't arrogance... You can't pursue this kind of thing without the confidence and the will for it. This is quite an intimidating hill to trek, but I believe that I will only be depriving myself for not embarking on the journey.
