And once again, I changed my mind

A few posts back I said that my spring schedule would include a political science class but I decided against it. It was a senior level class and it kind of freaked me out. So, instead I decided to take another science class. The new on-campus schedule is now Pre-trig, Organic Chemistry 1 with lab, and a pilates class. Plus I will be taking two online classes. Intro Physical Anthropology (which is really an archaeology class) and The Biology of Aging.

I found this really great blog from a current 2nd year med student. She is about my age and decided to go to med school later in life. She already had a undergrad and masters degree in epidemiology and public health and had worked for the health dept. and done tons of over seas research projects. She went back and got her post-bacc pre-med courses out of the way. She took the MCATs 4 different times and her final score was competitive but not perfect. Which gives me hope that I can do it. She is completely honest about her experiences and gives incredibly helpful tips on the day to day and semester to semester events. She has made me reconsider my journey into medicine. I am going to look at master's programs in public health and other similar areas. Anyways, as I figure my life out I will of course document it here so all of y'all that read will know what is going on.
