IS REALLY REALLY LATE. AND I'S NOT TIRED. WHY.

Was it the bizarre-and-not-actually-very-restful power nap I took at like 9:30 tonight? Was it the eating ramen and candy at 1 a.m?

Actually, yeah, those both make sense. Anyhoodle, here's a survey.

So, recently, I've been thinking of...going pre-med. And becoming a psychiatrist as opposed to just a psychologist.

I mean, personally, I think that people with GENUINE mental disorders are best helped by a combination of therapy and medicine, though if you had to choose one or the other, I'd obviously choose therapy. I'd like to be able to prescribe that medicine as well as provide counseling. But I'd be a GOOD psychiatrist, I wouldn't prescribe Prozac willy-nilly to people who didn't need it. The world needs better psychiatrists.

And...well, I think this is unfortunate, but I think psychiatrists are more in demand and have more job opportunities than psychologists. Sadly, many people today are looking for a chemical fix to their problems. It's not a good thing, in my opinion, but it's true. And I want to find a good job.

But being a DOCTOR? Really? Could I really do that? That is some hard schooling. And then would I have to be an intern and go through all those things I see on Scrubs which is obviously an accurate depiction of the medical world? Or could I go straight to counseling and therapy? And, God, obviously I'd have to deal with the blood and dissection and gahhhh in medical school. I hate that stuff. Help. I can't make up my mind.
