Don't Stop Believin'...

Greetings to my few viewers. HAHA

So I'm listening to "Don't Stop Believin" by the Glee Cast, wallowing in self pity.

First things first. I didn't work out today, so that's probably why I feel so yucky. And I kinda splurged on lunch, and ate like a cup of food......failure. Anyway, we'll deal with my food issues later.

Secondly, I've been entertaining second thoughts about Columbia College of Chicago. Currently, I am going to CCC for a Bachelor of Arts in Music Business Management with an emphasis in Talent Management. It's amazing, and it's cool that in two year I'll be graduating with the degree and hopefully tour around with a bunch of bands. But then again, because of this recession, my hopes and dreams are kinda slowly drifting away. I mean, everyone knows the music business is slowly dying and the DIY era is upon us. I just wish things could be easier. I mean, I'll apply for a few internships and all, but what if things don't work out? Will I have wasted four years of my life and $120,000 of money to just work at some 9-5 desk job that I hate?

Pre-med and Med School have been on the brain lately. Let's face it, I thrive on helping people. People people gives me this weird sort of unexplained satisfaction. Plus, I'm a mama bear. I could be compared the the great Dr. Bailey on Grey's Anatomy. She would the my role model, along with Hunter "Patch" Adams. Now I know what you are all thinking. This girl isn't smart enough for all the math and science it takes to become a doctor. You're probably right. I got a 16 on my ACT the first time I took it, and then a 19 the second time I took it. It's not that I'm not smart enough. My IQ is 135, I was tested last year to find out the number....so it's surely not that I'm not smart enough. It's just math is a little too complicated for my ADD brain. No, the ADD isn't a cop out. It's real. I've just been able to control it.

If I were to go to med school and pass with flying colors, I would either work at: The Geshundheit Institute created by the famous Hunter "Patch" Adams. It would be amazing to help children. Laughter is the best medicine, because for that sole moment, the child/parent isn't worried about the disease, the bills or the feeling of helplessness. I feel that once in awhile. The big ones that come to mind: My sister, Sonya, Amanda S., Amanda B., Jamie.....the important ones. I love those girls.....seriously they are all my sisters. They're my family. :)

Or, I'd work at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN and be a cancer doctor for children. I would want to give familes hope, and bring sunshine into their darkend lives. After reading "My Sister's Keeper", I would want to be the light in the darkness of a family struck with jevenile carcinoma. I'm a helper. I help people. It's what I'm best at.

Because let's face it, people will ALWAYS need doctors. Old ones die, new ones are needed to fill their places. And, with a last name like Kaiser....you should become a doctor. It sounds amazing...

Dr. Nicole E. Kaiser M.D.

Amazing. Anyway, just some of my thoughts, to keep you updated.

Peace, Love and Laughter.
