Did you know that if you have bad credit, you are automatically denied from med-school? Also, out of 4,000 applicants, 400 were interviewed, and only 204 were enrolled. That's scary as hell. You have to stay out of trouble cause they're thinking of doing background checks on applicants now. Some of the students thought that they do background checks and creditchecks to keep out minorities. I don't know what to think.

I went to my new class yesterday. It was a seminar for pre-med students of a minority. It is the best class ever. It's from 7:30-9:10pm but time goes by so fast and I wanted to stay even longer. My current major is International Studies but lately I have been bombarded with the medical field in all my classes and in my readings that I think it's a sign that this is what I really should pursue. As a kid I always wanted to be a physician and now I think I can really do it and I'm willing to do what it takes to get me there.

This class is taught by a real doctor who is African-American. She tells us information no one else will. She guarentees that the system will do anything to sabotage minorities who are pre-med students. They try to keep us out of the system and do whatever they can to not let us proceed. Yesterday was my first day in her class and there was a guest. Her name was Dr. Dawn Brady, I think. She's from the Medical College of Wisconsin, actually she's on the admissions board. She gave us inside tips on what to do, what not to do, how to prepare for med school. It was really interesting. Shit seems difficult, foreal. But it made me even more determined to work harder and do better that when I got home I spent two more hours studying and I didn't get home until almost 10pm. I couldn't sleep until 2am because I was so excited to come to school the next day, don't ask me why. I even woke up w/o my alarm this morning at around 7am and I didn't have class until 10am. I WANTED to come to school. Shit is strange but I know what I must do. TAKE OVER THE WORLD. Nah, but I can't wait until the end of the semester to see how much I've improved. Last semester sucked, big time. It put me on academic probation this semester but I didn't get no letter stating I was, even though it was on my transcript. Oh well.

I also filed my taxes and even filled out my FAFSA already for next school year. Good for me.
