Break-Time

Christmas break. So far I am not too fond of it. I do nothing all day and I continue to do nothing all night. I hope to change this soon by heading to Saint Louis next week to party with Jeff and Dave and all those crazies. My plans so far include the following:
Tomorrow: Drive to CoMo to see Allie
Saturday: Lunch with Sonja
-
Monday: X-mas hoopla
Tuesday: Drive to STL, come back Thursday
Saturday: More X-mas junk with the family
Sunday: Drive to CoMo for some crazy new years with Allie

Anyway, I'm pretty excited about next semester. Mostly because I'm joining the MU Ballroom Dance Club. I'm taking Calc 1, Bio 1500, Hist 1100, and English 1000. I gotta start destroying these classes pretty hardcore.

My mom and I were discussing future plans the other day as we usually do and I realized that I may just want to try and go to med school. I think it would be a good path considering that I cannot do research for 45 more years. Lab work is cool but it's so damn monotonous. Lately I've been fantasizing about being a trauma surgeon. I think that job would rock so hard... just have people show up that are pretty much dead and see if I could save them. That's exactly the high stress job I want. I need a crazy job like that, something that keeps me stimulated. It seems like the only route to jobs like that is through med school.... bleh. I've got a long road to haul no matter what though so I might as well start knocking out the classes. Which reminds me that over the summer I think I'm going to move to Columbia and take summer classes. Either I'll stay in summer dorms (if they exist) or I'll take out a small loan to pay for a cheap apartment. I just need to take summer classes and I need to get out of Clinton. The longer I'm here, the more I can't stand it.

Long time...

So it's been over a month since my last note. Lots has happened if I recall correctly... It snowed alot. ALOT. People have come and gone, and others have come and I hope they don't go just yet.

The semester is 5 days from being over. Finals are all that stand in my way of a month consisting entirely of boredom. I have grown so attached to my friends that I'll probably whither away over break. This is why I must spend as much time as possible away from my house. I would much rather just stay at school.

I am familiar with this type of confusion but I still lack a method of action to deal with it.
