I went to go have my mini-practicum paper signed today by the former chief of pediatric heme/onc, and as I was walking through the hospital, I realized I love hospitals. I know that probably sounds really weird. But I do. I am comfortable in them. They feel familiar; natural. And I know this is crazy. I keep whining about this and not doing anything about it. But I'm not sure there's anything to do. But let's face reality - the financial part would be undoable, and what if I didn't even get in to med school? I'm getting too old for this. I don't want to have regrets. I need to reconcile that I am NOT going to be a physician. I'm almost 28. I am too old to be still debating what to be when I grow up.

figuring it all out....sort of
A week from today is Thanksgiving. 2 weeks from today is my birthday, and also the last day of my semester. I cannot believe the semester is coming to a close. It feels like just yesterday I moved down here again. It's actually been pretty cold down here the past week or so, which is good and bad. Good because I love sweater weather and I have a much better winter wardrobe, bad because it SUCKS walking in the cold or waiting for the bus in the cold. But it definitely feels like winter. I even got my flu shot yesterday. But now I'm feeling all blah and in the mood for a weekend full of laying on the couch under my fleece blanket, drinking soup and watching What Not to Wear. But I can't exactly do that when I have a final secondary analysis research paper due 12/2, another paper due 12/1, a final on 12/2, and a final paper due 12/4 (my birthday, great). Oh yeah - and a possible grant proposal due 12/4 and a lit review to somehow come up with.

You are NEVER too old to figure out what you want to be. Learning is continuous. Being a good person adn helping people is an ongoing, neverending process. You will help people in many ways that you will never know, just by being yourself and being there when others needed you. You have touched the lives of so many people. Someday you will realize you have left your mark, simple by being Jaime.
Jaime, you are def. not too old to be trying to figure out what you want to be. I think that is an ongoing process especially in your twenty's. The small fact you want to be a Dr. is awesome...have you ever thought about being a Physician Assistant? Idk...I'm just rambling. It will all work out...
