hi, i'm dr. east coast

so i've been having two highly contemplative thoughts lately.

#1:

While at dinner the other night with my family we got talking about medical school.

My dad says that he's always thought I should go to medical school

(perhaps he should have mentioned it before).

For some reason I had never even considered such a thing, but now I'm thinking about it.

What if I decided to go to medical school one day?

That would be a life-changer for sure.

I mean this could be ME.

And I would have that haircut.

And the cute backdrop.

And yes, I did google this. And yes, I also picked the cheesiest picture possible.

But hey, she seems to be happy with her career choice.

#2:

This is not a recent thought (I've wanted to do it since I was 14), but just one I have more seriously entertained lately.

I want to live on the east coast. 

Boston, DC, New York. Really any of them will suffice.

 But I've been thinking of what I could do there,

you know, so that I have an actual solid reason to go.

And then tonight some friends came to visit.

And guess where they're from, Pennsylvania of course. 

So they are just a hop, skip, and a jump away from so many great places.

All of their stories of day trips to NY and Philly made me one envious lady.

And we chatted about how they have needed a nanny every summer (and more),

and how their neighbors need the same.

So maybe next summer I'll go nanny it up on the east coast.

I think that this would make me very happy.

i am in love with this city.

But we'll see how things pan out, because life is always changing. 

:)

holla.
