I've been thinking a lot lately.
For those who know me well, you know this can be a dangerous thing. It sometimes gets me into trouble. Or into Starfleet but that's another story.
What I've been thinking about lately is what I am going to do with my life. I can't keep waiting to see if the Tesseract is going to take me back, I have to decide how I'm going to live life here in New York. Which leads me to a career decision.
I love being a nurse. While I enjoyed bio-research, there is just something about the interpersonal contact with patients that gets me. Hearing their stories, sometimes just listening to them or holding their hand because they're scared, it's a great feeling because sometimes that's all they need, just the feeling that they're not alone in the world. That being said, I find that a part of me wants more. I'm 32 years old and as much as I love what I do, I still have a dream that hasn't been fulfilled.
I want to be a doctor. I have no idea how I'd go about doing that here but I'm sure there is someone at SHIELD Headquarters that can help me out. I've poked around on line and I know the first step is taking the MCAT exam. I went out yesterday afternoon and bought a prep book. I haven't opened it yet but it's sitting on my nightstand. Right next to War and Peace which by the way I have actually opened although I haven't gotten very far with it.
So that's my dream. Dr.Chapel. It might take a while but that's what I want. We'll see how it goes.
