Second year is started; we're going full swing at this point. If you live in New England, you'll know that summer just now started. This past week, it's been high 80's-mid 90's with 75% humidity. It's great times, studying instead of being out on the beach.
Also, if you live in New England, you know that the mosquitoes are pure, unfettered evil. You go outside and get bit immediately.
Med school is expensive. I'm weighing financing options that include but are not limited to joining the army, national health service corps loan repayment plans, public health service corps, just paying off the quarter million, working in under served areas or public service for ten years while making income based payments and then having the remaining debt forgiven, and getting a wealthy benefactor. As of this point, the two top options are joining the army and doing the ten year public service/loan forgiveness program. I'm honestly torn between the two, because they both honestly have some benefits and negative points. I've been talking to loads of people about both options. There are quite a few military scholars at my school, all of whom have had different experiences. We'll see what's in store, I suppose.

If thinking about the military, don't just look at the Army. Think also Navy and Air Force. Based on my family and friends, Navy and AF seem to treat people better, and you're less likely to end up doctoring in unpleasant places.
