To be or not to be?

I have recently decided to go into med school. Recently being yesterday!

I am writing this because I have heard that a goal written down is twice as powerful as one just spoken. And I really don't want this to be one of those grand ideas I get once in a while which ends up falling through (as all of my getting in shape/working out ideas have in the past). I really want to stick with this one. I think a career in medicine would be extremely fulfilling and rewarding. I am a social person and love to interact and help people who need it. In addition, I'll have a secure income from which I'll be able to support my children/family. And, I can work on my own schedule and take time off as I see fit. This is the ultimate lifestyle in my opinion (and a way I can spend time with my family) :D The only problem is the actual GOING through medschool. But if I try hard I think I'll be able to do it!


Now I just need to get more information about the process, what I'll need to do in order to get good MCAT scores, potential med. schools of interest, and so on.

I have decided that most likely I'll have a child during my residency and then another one after I am done residency (I'm planning on having 2 or 3 children). This of course depends on whether I have the right man to have kids with! :D

I don't know yet what I am going to be specializing in, but I think I'll eventually figure it out after the 4 years of med. school.

As another benefit to being a doctor, I won't always have to be clueless as to what might be "wrong with me" when I.. have an ear ache, or a mole that is quite large. Not that I am going to self medicate myself and my family, but it will help in understanding general problems and knowing how to handle them :D (kinda like my mom does now! hehe which i like.. even though sometimes she freaks me out more than she means to!)
well that's it for now! :D Any comments or questions? heh
