Globe Traveler

This summer.. I have been racking up the mileage.. both by road and air. After being in norcal, socal, new orleans, and now hawaii... I can't believe how fortunate I am for being able to go around and having people drive me around. My family thinks it's so wonderful to have friends all over the place. My parents joked that their kids are international.. though not really... but since we're all over the country. My sister in New Orleans and me in the west coast. I love traveling. I love exploring. I want to see more! I need money!!!

Torn between going home in a couple weeks but also can't wait...

When I stayed with my relatives in Torrance, my aunt, uncle, and cousin greeted me by all wearing the Boston gifts I had sent earlier this year. haha. my aunt and uncle both wore bu tshirts and my cousin was wearing a redsox shirt and bu shorts. And since I was going to Hawaii, my uncle kept playing hawaiian music in the house and car and wore the flanel shirts as well. haha, how cute.

doctor?

After a weekend of family and watching my sister enter medical school, it kind of slapped me in the face what I'm missing out on. Since I was young, I had always wanted to be a doctor. A dentist, to be more specific. Mostly because I wanted to follow in my father's footsteps and get the approval of my parents, but I think also because I knew I was helping people. Listening to the speakers at my sister's white coat ceremony made me feel guilty for choosing a different route. Lives will be at the hands of these people who are now entering med school. This white coat symbolizes the trust, power, and responsibility that all doctors possess.

I on the other hand, have become lazy and chose an easier route. Since science classes, especially bio, seemed too difficult for me to just fool around and get a B in, I opted out to another route. Not that business classes does not make you study. But I defintely work less than fellow students who are following the medical route. My dad even joked that I could switch to the dentist field if I wanted to. I still have time... UGH.

I thought I was supposed to know these decisions before my senior year.
