Marco here, what a week...It's been a rough one for Polo and I (hours of homework, Analytical Chemistry Exams and dying fish) but it's definitely had some up-times, like playing Twister with Tex, free lunches and 2 pancake nights). Maybe the best part though? Finally making some life decisions for post-graduation (trust me, this is a big deal for the two us, we're pretty much the most indecisive people ever).
For Polo, it happened on Monday around lunch time when some recruiters from the U.S. Navy came to talk to our Pre-Med club about their Health Professions Scholarship Program. It was love at first sight for Polo; She actually applied to Annapolis for undergrad. I can let Polo elaborate on this front but her current plan? Go to med school (paid for by the Navy) and then serve at least three years active duty.
Polo: I'm not entirely certain about the medical school bit, I am tossing around a few things, (i.e. pediatrics or forensic pathologist, neurobiology w/ behavioral psychology, anthropology, teaching, and if you ask my boss I'm going to be an optometrist) lets be serious I'm all over the board on the future bit. But I am definitely in love with the Navy route no matter what I go into. Go Navy!!!
For me, it happened today when La Catedrática and a few of our other chemistry professors gave a presentation on grad schools. I've always known I wanted to go on to some form of higher education but haven't been able to decide what to study (current top three: Forensics Chemistry/Biology, Epidemiology and begrudgingly Pharmacy) and I've been back and forth on the whole master v. PhD front... Today however, I decided. I'm going to get my PhD. Now I just have to decide in what.....but I'll save that for another day.
So a roller-coaster week and two big life decisions for Polo and I. We'll see how long they stick...like the title of this post says "For Now"
As Always, Stay Nerdy,
Marco
