I don't have to work. I just have high aims I guess; my dream is to go to Brown University, and I sort of compare myself to my peers, which probably isn't healthy either. I mean, when your friends are the children of parents who've triple majored, and those friends go off to Berkeley and places, it sort becomes a standard of excellence.
Working in the hospital is something that I wanted to do because it placed me in an environment that was best suited for my goals: a trauma surgeon. Financially, everything is paid for and I owe no money...its more of desire to excel in everything.
All future publications will look well on my CV, but appearances aren't the only motivation. If I had the time, I would double major as literature is my passion, as is mathematics, and that's why I work with the math professors to help get it sent to the right places. But um....I don't know. I think I will have a "come-to-jesus moment" with my psychology professor tomorrow.
