My first blog here on vox.

Exciting.

I used to blog on xanga a lot during high school. However, time limitations prevented me from continuing with my posts. I stumbled upon vox though accidentily. And even though I have my own personal journal to write in, I figured web blogging again might be fun. Plus, I like these layouts a little better than those on xanga. Vox seems truly a better version of xanga. I might enjoy this.

I work at a bank as an intern on wall street. That is as much information as needed.
The workload here can be a lot one minute and none the next. It is killing me to be involved in such a mundane and drab setting.

Oh the people are nice enough. Yet it is not about the people! It is about the work I have to do. The fact that each day as I crack open my eyelids I have to look forward to making a commute to the center of finance in the USA. I come to this street and watch each person rush by on their way to work. All of them are mindless drones. We are all robots. We don't display emotions here! Everything must be politically correct. Or in franker terms: can't step on anyone's toes.

I decided to intern here because I wanted some experience. I wanted to do something business related. I saw the opportunity at the bank and snagged it. Yet this opportunity was more false advertising than anything! The first month of my internship, although mostly doing clerical in human resources, I learned a massive amount of things just from my observations. Now I am in Government Affairs/Community Development. BORING. I am learning nothing. I have been here for a complete week and I have not learned much. I sit here and write all the time and research things like student loans and scholarships(great for me though...need to get that money for college!) Its a rather interesting experience of having to come into work and get paid to do nothing but my own personal stuff. Funny thing is that I yearn to do more. I wouldn't mind actually learning something. Is this the Aquarius crying out?

I always feel the need to do something for mankind. To help humanity in some way. I know that sitting behind this desk staring at this computer screen all day is defintely not helping! -Sigh-

My major is English/Pre-Med. I know everyone thinks what can you do with that? Well...GO TO MED SCHOOL...duh. I have a love for english as well which is why my major is English. You don't only have to be a biology or science major to be a doctor! I wish more people would realize this. I think its more of a challenge for me because I have to encompass everything and not just the sciences. I still have to write my many english papers of reason while studying for my logical science tests. Either way I am thinking critically in both areas. My course load is intense. Most people say I am committing academic suicide. I laugh at that thought. I love a challenge. I say bring it. :)

I aspire to have an MD/MBA degree. Hopefully I will get into a 5-year program for that. Yet if I am unlucky enough not to, I at least pray I get into medical school then. Medical school is priority number one. This joint degree goal is my reasoning for interning at this bank. Business experience! I just hope this all pays off.

I think thats enough talk for the day. I might go search for other like minded people such as myself on here and who knows? Maybe we can start a blogger circle or something. I think my problem on xanga was that I only had friends who really didnt like to write. They never commented and kind of just had one to have one. Maybe if I have a supportive community and an engaging audience I will actually be able to keep up with this thing. We will see.

Toodles.
