Friends:


A) I am applying to med school.
B) I am applying to med school in the land pictured above.

Lets all hope for the best now. I am still praying a lot about it... but in my heart I already feel like applying is the right thing to do. It would be something of a miracle if I got in, as the school would need to waive my pre-requisites of Chemistry and Physics.

Pros: a measly $4,000 per semester, no need to take the MCAT, its on an effing tropical paradise, I would be done with classes there and ready for my 2 yrs. of clinicals in the states in 16 months, (so 3.5 years to be an MD, sort of i think?) I would be able to make lots of money later if I wanted to. I could save lots of peoples lives later if i wanted to. :) Faith is there and I could live with her and she could show me the ropes and oh, did I mention I would be a doctor?

Cons: I would have to "work through some prejudice" upon my return to the states, according to Dr. Keene my microbiologist professor. (She however thinks it is a fabulous idea and offered to write me a letter of recommendation.)It would take some maneuvering to get my clinicals. I would have to borrow a lot of money. I would have to move to a foreign country and miss everybody so bad I would probably throw up.

Another Pro: I want to do this.

Allright, now I've got the drama all out and over with. Shew enough of that. (Ha! It will never be over! I've tricked them all!)

Fun times.


This is the immune system, in a nutshell. My professor has a penchant for diagrams. Lord help us. This is what the board looks like on any typical night of A & P.
