Libera Te Ex Inferis: Dental School
I feel more excited than ever about my future academic and professional career! I was so excited at school today that ran up the library stairs with a big smile, just because I wanted to! Why? Because I've decided that my future academic studies will involve courses like Esthers of the Diaspora: Latin American-Jewish Female Writing and Nation and Narration instead of Clinical Skills I and Fundamentals of Occlusion. That's right. I'm not applying to dental school. I want to be a professor. I'm hoping to direct my studies towards social issues in Latin America. There should be a few different ways I can do this: everything from a Ph.D in Portuguese and Brazilian studies to Social Ecology, though I'm leaning toward the former. I don't think the extra $100k/year I would make as a dentist could buy how happy I feel right now. Guys, this is me!
