My candidate is not winning, my time is dwindling, my sport non existent, and my cash disappeared. For what do I yearn and what do I deserve? Oh so many things, so many things indeed. When I have a spare moment on the bus to school or a walk between lecture halls I think of the oddity that my life has become. It has been reorganized in a strange but familiar way. My time is now governed by that which I can barely control: school. My new friends are seven years younger than I. I delight in understanding textbooks, and truthfully - little else.

I do enjoy it however; what sometimes is painful is almost always rewarding. (Probably not the right place for a semicolon, but I was recently inspired.) Anywho, I’m a student of science now. Physics equations, acid-base equilibrium, and lipid bilayers show up in my dreams, and believe me - that can be quite scary. I’ve evolved as a student too. I talk to professors, I’m more keen on learning style and learning practices. In a sense I’m recognizing how I’ve matured as a student.

Anywho - my good friend Reed suggested I take a special personality test the other day. It predicts medical specialties that one might like based on a few minutes worth of questions. Here it what it suggested for me (low scores are best):

Interesting right? Well I basically came to the same conclusion a few months ago. But I have made zero progress figuring out if I like oncology or not because when I’m volunteering in the cancer care center at boulder community hospital I’m mainly doing tasks I semi-intelligent chimpanzee can do. I’m gonna have to figure out a better plan during those spare moments on the bus. Any ideas?
