Thanks to everyone who gave their opinion on my last journal. Since then, I've done some math. With my current grades and GPA, I will need to get a 4.0 (that's an A, not an A- which is a 3.7) in every single class I take from now until graduation. Every. Single. Class. I'm not lying, being lazy, or doing myself a disservice by saying that this is impossible. MAYBE if I didn't have work to worry about and my frequent health issues would back off for a couple years, I'd be able to do this. Sadly it just isn't to be. Therefore, I'm going to focus on getting into the local PA program, which has the much more reasonable expectation of a 3.0 GPA. I'm still going to do my utmost to get the highest GPA possible. I'm not using this as a cop out. I'm going to medical school. It's been my dream since my age was in the single digits and I'll get it done if I have to find a fucking country to move to that has med schools that will take me. It'll just take a little longer than expected. Oh well. Life gives you lemons, turn around and sell those fuckers and earn yourself a living.

Edit: Only problem is that the PA program's tuition totals at over $150k. That'll take a long assed time to pay back
