I hope you've all had a blessed day. :)
Although the title is Yule, this is more of an update of the last few weeks. I've been meaning to write stuff down but I've been either too busy or too lazy. I guess it's all right though since I've been working my butt off all semester.
I got three A's and two B+'s this semester. :)
I'm very proud of myself. <3
It was very hard, and I was very tired all semester, but I did it. :) I did very well, if I do say so myself. I'm kinda upset that my Zoology grade wasn't an A; I was very close to getting one!!! But it's okay, because I got an A on math instead. :)
I was starting to doubt myself, like I always do, but I'm confident now. It's going to be a very hard road, but I'm going to be the best doctor possible. :) I figured out that if I take around 16-18 credits a semester I can graduate by 2016!!! I should graduate by 2014, but since I took the pre-med route a little late, I have to stick around a little later.
I'm just glad I won't have to wait until 2018!!! I made a mistake planning my schedule and I thought I wouldn't be done by then. Thankfully, I figured out I was skipping years at a time, so I fixed it and got a better idea of my graduation date. If I can take classes in the summer, I should be able to finish by 2015; I guess it's kinda far away still, but it doesn't seem that far away to me!!! Guess that's all that should matter. :)
I love the human brain, but I'm not sure if I want to be a neurosurgeon. I want to, but it'll be an extra six years of residency after the four of med school. I may not be done with everything until I'm 35!!! That's kinda too far away for my liking. It'll be worth it, but I wish I could finish everything by the time I'm 30 so I have more time to enjoy being a doctor and be able to provide for my family.
I haven't figured it out yet, but I have plenty of time. :)
I may just do neurology or psychiatry like I wanted to for a while. Who knows. I'm just happy things are working out for me. Guess it just proves that hard work truly pays off. I just hope med schools like my transcript enough to give me a chance. I think as long as I get a high score on the MCAT I'll be fine. My GPA wasn't the best at the beginning of my studies, but I'm sure I'll keep making up for it now. I want some schools to at least offer me interviews; if they meet with me face-to-face, they can get to know me and I can prove them that I'll be a great doctor. :)
I just wish I had been more involved at the beginning of my college years. :/
I also wish I had known I wanted to be a doctor sooner so I could've gotten things done faster.
Well, that's all the school updates!!!
My kitten is growing into a beautiful cat!!! She's almost eight months old and she is lovely!!! She makes the cutest bird chirping noises when she hunts!!! She also plays a lot with her older brother Stevey, our three year old gray and white cat. They are so cute when they wrestle!!! They really are adorable and wonderful. <3 I dunno where I would be without my kitties. I know it's not much to some people, but to me, they are the world. My cats are my best friends and I'm blessed to have them in my life. <3
The last member of our family is sick. :( Steven seems to have a cold, but it's really been rough on him. He's had a fever, runny nose, sore throat, and some back pain. I feel so bad that I can't help him. I know he just has to get over it, but I can't help but worry. He's not his usual happy self. It also sucks that he's missed two days of work; he has to go back tomorrow, but I wish he could stay home until he feels better. He's sleeping right now, so hopefully he'll wake up feeling well.
Today I went to yoga with Leah, Alex, and Jason. It was a lot of fun, but I'm EXTREMELY sore. My back is killing me!!! I enjoyed doing 108 sun salutations, but I don't think I'm fit enough to do it again; at least not anytime soon. I didn't actually do 108, but I did a lot. I would say around 70 full ones; I skipped a few, but the rest that I didn't skip I modified because everyone was going very fast!!!
I love yoga; it's very relaxing, even though I can't keep up with everything all the time!!! I want to do it more often so I can get better at it. I couldn't get into the one yoga class they offer at Weber, so I'm taking Tai Chi instead. I'm very excited about it; it's going to be a lot of fun!!! I wanted to take it with some friends, but no one wants to take it with me. Even if they did though, the class is full. Either way, I hope this will be a new opportunity for me to make friends. I made a lot this past semester during my ASL class. :)
Well that's all I can think of. My life is pretty sweet right now and I'm very blessed with everything the Goddess has given me. <3 I'm very happy things are working out for me and Steven. I hope things keep looking up for us. <3
Hope you all had a blessed Yule!!!
And I hope you have a blessed rest of the year. :)
Blessed be,
Andrea~!
