Oh No…Not Again!

I am in that phase again where I dwell on life instead of focusing on tasks that I should be completing right now. I have a Chemistry test on Monday that I’m probably not even 1/3 prepared for yet I am thinking about life. Funny thing is I keep thinking about the same things over and over again. I figured if I blogged about it I may be able to get back to studying since it will really be out of my head and into a new medium.

Basically, I’m trying to figure out what to do with my life. I don’t have the money to take the classes that I want to this fall so I may never be done with school. I’ve been thinking really hard about getting a loan, but I don’t want to apply until my credit score is over 700. I only have 42 more points to go, but it’s kind of hard since I don’t have the money to pay off my credit cards in the first place. It’s a depressing cycle because if I work more than PT I don’t do well in school, and if I don’t work more than PT I can’t really afford to go to school.

Since deciding that I’ll just apply to medical school after I have my 90 credits (you can read about that here), I’ve realized that there’s so much more I need to do in order to get in if I don’t plan to have my Bachelor’s first. So, I’ve decided that after next Friday (when Chem class ends) I’m going to begin volunteering at a hospital or nursing home. I’m also going to become friends with this surgeon that I know through a friend so that he can write me a recommendation letter.

I’m also going to write down my time line of classes to take before taking the MCAT, which is more for my reference than to bore you.
