I can quickly see this turning into my "road to med school blog" and then my "in med school" blog, as I won't have a life outside of it...ha! Oh and this is all still "if," of course...
I kind of just want to dive into it before I realize what I'm doing. That sounds insane, and I don't think it's recommended. Not really how I do things anyway. I generally like to analyze every detail before making a decision. But maybe I'm just sick of doing that?
Some humorous and inspiring things that have happened since I've been sharing this whole idea with people:
1) After telling her I was in a bad mood, Meghan telling me that she had some good news. She was at the doctor for her yearly exam and.....nope, she isn't pregnant. I thought that's what she was gonna say! No. She told her doc (during her pap, mind you...ya know, pap small talk) about my 'med school aspirations' and she told Meghan I should go. And Meghan tells me, all excited. "I told my doc about you, and she said you should go!" Like, simple as that. I laughed a lot, thinking...this woman doesn't know me. But, at the same time, very cool.
2) Emily texting me and telling me she was stalking me on FB...and was wondering if I was still thinking about med school. She told me I would be a rockstar. How fun does that sound? :) Thanks, Em.
3) Rachel pointing out a young med student at Panera while we were studying, and me staring at her in admiration similar to the way a child stares at their hero :) I seriously wanted to run up and talk to her. Funny.
4) My professor who works with several doctors telling me he thinks there is a niche for me in that world and I would do well at it......that sort of made my day.
I sincerely hope this does not come across as bragging. There is nothing to brag about, as I have not actually taken this leap yet. But it's just exciting to hear encouragement from people who care, and even better, halfway believe it about myself too.
