long time not talk/see/etc! sounds like you guys are doing awesome, which is great =) hmmm so after graduation, i did a service year with AmeriCorps as a firefighter/EMT in delaware (delawhere?) which was a really good experience and a lot of fun. it was nice just doing what i wanted until the alarm went off, but then i had to enter the real world. once my background investigation was complete, i went to work in DC/northern VA as a consultant to the Intelligence Community. the job is amazing (i'm a counterintelligence/counterproliferation specialist) and i get to see and work on a lot of stuff that just boggles my mind. sucky part is that i work in a black hole with no cell phones, no regular phones, no internet...really no connection to the outside world =/ but in the DC/NOVA area, this is sort of common, i guess. i've been attending Open Door Presbyterian Church here, and i've run into some penn people, dan ko, angel, jina, julius, helen, etc which was cool. i'm really happy here and i'm sad to be leaving in a few weeks because i've decided to be a doctor =P i love my job, but i want to pursue a job where i'm helping without hurting, and medicine feels like my calling
so i'm going to be starting premed postbac classes at bryn mawr (they have a coed premed postbac grad program) in may, so that i can take all the science prereqs and my mcat in one year and them hopefully off to med school either that year or the next... if any of you guys did this and have any advice, let me know! hopefully (in the better part of a decade), i'll be dr. gene, hehe.
it was awesome reading about wat you guys are doing right now! lets try to keep this thing going!
