GOD! The Revisions Never Stop!!!

Okay. I am SO sick of making freakin' revisions to this damn plan! It never stops! My last post I was SURE that I was going to go into Nursing first and then pursue a 4-year degree in biology. Well, THAT changed in a bloody heartbeat. After talking to a few people who's opinion I respect, and talking with my wife, we decided that Nursing was an unwise field to go into if I wanted to go into medical school. The primary reasoning behind this decision is the amount of pressure I'll be applying to myself as a nurse and a part time student. Got to be on point on both, or I might as well just give up. I don't want to take that chance.

So, instead we've decided to pursue another plan. It's a slight revision of my original plan. I will pursue a B.S. in biology. My wife will concurrently pursue a B.A. in accounting. Hopefully, she will be finished before me so that by the time I'm ready to apply and matriculate into medical school she'll have some sort of an established career.

It seems like a solid-enough plan, but there are definitly some concerns regarding time constraints and just timing in general. I've yet to tell anyone in my immediate family other than my wife that I'm doing this. My wife had a bit of a loose tongue, however, and she told her mother. Her mother subsequently told her husband. So, two more people than I would have preferred know about this. As long as my father doesn't know about it, I'm happy. He can be a pain about this stuff. He means well, but his sarcasm and general negativity can really drag you down. And, I'm so deep into the infancy of this process that even I doubt its legitimacy...

On a brighter note, I took my first exam in several years today. It was for my Sociology class. I believe that I did very well. It wasn't difficult, though. I finished about 15-20 minutes before anybody else in the class, and I felt kind of embarrassed. I just sat at my desk for awhile. Then, I decided to go over my answers to the test again. The professor wasn't in the room, and I wasn't sure where she wanted us to leave the completed tests. So, she finally came in and I gave her the test and left. We'll see how well I really did next Saturday.
