So I've had some comments on my previous blog name as being no so great, so, rather than be practical, I've updated with a new name that plays with the idea that my days are spent following different futures (and also fits in with my being a fan of both The X-Men and The Moody Blues). When one future doesn't seem to pan out, another can take its place. I like the journey, so I will continue wandering down those future paths.
In the meantime, today I've uploaded my resume and application for a job as a student intern at Valley Medical Center. If it's full-time, fantastic, and if it's part-time, I can still do my EMT job (and hopefully not get too car sick).
I'm starting my journey towards the MCAT in May by beginning my online Kaplan prep course. Tomorrow I take my first MCAT diagnostic test. We'll see how that goes!
I'm also currently reading Inside Rehab: The Surprising Truth About Addiction Treatment--and How to Get Help That Works by Anne M. Fletcher. It's the true story of what really goes on in most programs, and how most still do not use current scientific methods or provide the help than many addicts really need (like help with their mental disorder more than the addiction itself). I find this a fascinating book that sounds a lot like what my ex went through. Too much dependence on group therapy and not enough individualized help. A "one size fits all" cookie-cutter approach that has far too high of relapse rates. I really hope I can help to move the psychiatric and addiction fields to the twenty-first century.
I also took a night off and read a book just for fun. Wow, it's been a couple years since I've done that! I read the last Sookie Stackhouse novel. Not great, but it was indeed fun. :)
Up for the next couple days: MCAT diagnostic and studying, reviewing OChem for next semester, and updating my gofundme page. Maybe a little begging, too. ;)
It's late, now, so I'm going off to sleep.
Thanks for stopping by!
