Another Day Another Dollar

Another Day in the Rat Race... :)

I am sitting here with my IPod blasting because my inconsiderate cube mate thinks its ok... to chew on a full cup of ice cubes 3 times a day... She really gets on my nerves...

My Future is really weighing heavier and heavier on my mind... I am not sure what to do...

It is getting closer to fall, and I have not registered for any classes... I think I will be taking the distance course for Biochem. First. I have to pay 1200 dollars cash at one time so I think I will do it around August when I free up that much reserve... LOL...

I also need to order the ExamKracker complete study guide. I already have the Audio Osmosis, but felt I needed to add the structure part of it to maybe help me improve over the last time. They have a home study schedule on line and it uses the Audio Osmosis and Study Guides.

For some reason yesterday I started to consider just taking the Caribbean Med School route.

I am concerned about the risk of funding and finding a good residency and getting to practice in the specialty that I want... (Maternal fetal). If I do consider it, it will only be at a reputable school, with all the needed accreditations and good residency placement, and accommodations for my daughter. I have found possibly 2 that meet those requirements.

But at the same time, my dream would be to get into the medical school that is hear in my city.
It has a great program,
My daughters pediatrician graduated from there and I think she is great
I have went to a few activities at that school and think it is a great school...
Also they have a 1year program I can apply for to help my application

PLUS my daughter gets to stay at the GREAT school she is at now,
she gets to stay in dance which she loves
my mom lives here which will really help when it’s time for clinical rotations.

I think I am going to try one more year to try and get in here... I don’t know... it’s hard to know the right thing...

I just know I am not getting any younger… and I don’t want to stay where I am.

But my situation is not so horrible that I cannot stay where I am for one more year. PLUS It will give me more time to save up some money.
