The Student's Block

I'm having a form of writer's block but it is where I cant study. I try to pick up and study for my DAT (Dental Admissions Test) but I can't. All I want to do is watch Weeds on Netflix..tisk..tisk.. AND yes I am not going to be taking taking medical school school route as once planned. I had an intervention one day while studying for the MCAT. I promise I was right in the middle of studying for the physics section and something was like, "what are you doing?" So I had a long talk with myself and God and also a lot of times before I even had my intervention. I keep thinking is this what I want to do. Do I really want to be a physician or is there something else. So I did my research, and discovered that being a dentist fits me more. I want to have a predictable type schedule where I go to work for 4 days out of the week and I set when I want to come in. I wanted to have my own practice as well. Also I was not into going into a residency program after med school and waiting another 3 years to get on my feet after the initial 4 years of med school. Whereas when I go to dental school I just go my 4 years and go find a dentist to apprentice under till I'm ready to get out on my own.

I was at my SMDEP (Summer Medical and Dental Education Program) in Louisville, KY two years ago, and we were able to perform a dental exam. Do you know I had the most fun doing that than when we got to do a physical examination and listen to the heart? They even asked us if any body wanted to switch over to being pre-dental and I stayed in my seat. I think about it today and I still don't know what I was thinking. I really don't. I was really naive about my life and what I really wanted. BUT here I am today, with studying block lol at least that is my term for it! Im just ready to graduate from Precious Prairie View A&M University and get on with life. I know I will miss my days at PVAMU but I know that I lived them to the fullest. That is all that matters and MY DEGREE AMEN!

Now I'm looking at the whole application process and hoping it isn't going to be any more difficult than the medical school application process.

BTW Shout out to my SoRHOr and neophyte SPR 2K12 in Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. that shouted me out on her new blog http://knstephens7.blogspot.com/ follow her!

Just thought I would post something for the last day of the year...I also have another resolution for the new year, and that is to take better care of my skin!  I found this recipe for a homemade mask and toner for acne and it really has worked. I've used it every other day this week and my skin is smooth and the acne on my cheeks is gone. This is the video: This is definitely going on the list of my routine plus it isn't hard to make and it's natural :) Now all I need to do for the rest of the day is figure out how I will spend the last day of the year. Hummmmmmm.... I'll update on what I do.

Life is an ongoing battle..

I've had many revelations lately, and I have have come to the conclusion that I'm going to have two choices to make everyday..either I take each thing step by step or don't do it at all. I feel the only way for me to have some sanity is to take everything one step at a time. My mom tells me this almost every week..but it has never stuck me like this. Like for me to get serious and to stay on top of things I'm going to have to stop rushing to the next step without completing the last. I have to get real with myself. The only way for me to move forward is to get real with myself. The other revelation that I had this month is to always remember that I'm not alone and that I can't go through life alone. I told one of my good friends that same thing this week. She was having some health and relationship issues, and I told her that she doesn't have to go through any of it alone and that she isn't supposed to. God didn't put us on earth to be alone. That ...
