I just found out that I cannot pursue pharmacy. Pharmacy is way different from surgery and so studying pharmacy will not be advisable if I want to prepare for neurosurgery. In addition, the number of years that I will be spending in school for pharmacy will be the same number of years that I am supposed to spend for neuroscience as a major. If I will do pharmacy first, I will not be done with school until I reach the age of 40! Oh my.. I do not think that I would want that. My decision, or at least my plan, right now is to study psychology, biology, or physiology in order to prepare me for med school. I did not think that it would be hard to choose. If anything, I should pursue a year of studies at UIC or UIUC and then apply again at the University of Rochester for next year as a transferee. Right! That's what I have to do. There are a number of schools I should try applying at for my 2nd year. It is not gonna be all fun and games. This is the path I chose..the career I am going to pursue.. I should do what I have to do and forget the unnecessary. 

neurosurgery! here I come!
