Direction Detection!

After reading a good friends blog, about seeking direction and experience in life, I began to reflect upon my own life and where I thought it was that I was headed. I've been dabbling in the sciences now for sometime, trying to seek a direction toward a career, only considering nursing- baseline, yet extremely helpful careers. I never considered actually researching CAREERS, I mean, they must have told me that at least a million times in high school, but who really knows then? It wasn't until a few months ago, when I started looking at different majors at UNH, that one really caught me, pulled me in, and swallowed me whole. Neuroscience and Behavior. A combination of Psychology and Science, the study of neurons! the electrical wiring of our bodies, that have only really just began to be understood. As I read, all my neurons were firing, as if to say: "THIS IS IT!"
  How wonderful a feeling. And this, was something I found on my own! Something that called to me and said: "Hey you! you like this, you find this interesting sure some may say that it will be a challenge, and it probably will be. BUT, you can be passionate about it and all the rest will fall into place from there."
  I still cannot believe it, it seems so obvious now- and I haven't even begun this journey, but I've got a good feeling in the pit of my stomach that I've found a good direction for myself to head. I've even found a program at the University of Illinois at Chicago, that is a two year fellowship training program in behavioral neurology and neuropsychiatry. Finally putting pieces together, and moving forward. :)
   As my friend heads off globe trotting, I only begin a journey into the workings of the human electrical wiring and the behaviors it provokes! Well, cheers to that!
