EUREKA!!!!
I'm changing my career path. Almost completely.
New Agenda: Go into double major of premed and Asian studies (mainly Japanese) with a minor in journalism. Go to grad school for both majors and move out to Cali (or possibly stay here). Work as either a radiologist or a sonographer (the people who do ultrasounds - nothing invasive!) but also serve as a writer for medical journals and an on-site hospital translator (because of the new laws stating that hospitals must have translators ready in case non-English-speaking patients arrive - this is where I may also take some Korean).
Is this sudden? Yes. Is this going to freak some people (*cough* Jane *cough*) out because it's not what they would think I would do? Most likely. Do my parents support it? My dad doesn't. He heard about it and started laughing, saying that anything related to medicine isn't me. Mom was the one with me at the hospital earlier today, and she got all excited about it. She supports me fully, since she has always thought that I should go into some type of service where I care for others. Whenever I go to see any type of doctor (and believe me, I've been to quite a few), they end up telling me that I should really think about working there. Even my kidney specialist told me not to waste my valuable mind on plain ol' journalism and to either be a doctor or to write medical articles instead, which does appeal to me.
I think that the main reason I never thought about it too much before was because I go to hospitals so much that I just wanted to get away from them; however, whenever I force myself to work at something that I don't like, I tend to become both fonder and quite successful at it. And it's a service to the community! How can you feel bad doing that???
Besides, when I started thinking about it, it is a job that would be a heck of a lot more fulfilling. Before, I was just going to translate a bunch of political and social crap for newspapers, possibly design some, and leave it at that. However, this plan has so much more....purpose. Being able to translate for those in emergencies and to do the whole "Here's your baby! LOOK!" thing (I know it's not all that glorious all the time, but it's still a highlight!), that would just be amazing... And you get paid a heck of a lot, too! :P
If you wanna leave your thoughts, go ahead. I'd like to see some of your reactions. Hehe....
They will make horrid cheerleaders. Though I'd like to see Evan in a little skirt. -Mandy

If you lived in Canada, I'd hit you. Well, maybe not, since we are in DIRE need of doctors. There's a huge shortage, and doctors get paid way not enough at all. (OUr Healthcare has major flaws). But if you want to do it, then congrats! I could never learn all those crazy asian langueages... and I still have no idea what I want to do with my life.
