As you may have already guessed, my name is indeed Heather. It is not always the name I am called, but it is the one that appears on my birth certificate. When I got my free home page from Geocities, I had no real idea what I would put in it. All the pages I have made in the past have been for other people, classes or organizations so I had no real say in the contents. This one, however, is my very own... Yea!

After five and one-half years at the University of Northern British Columbia I have a Bachelor of the Arts in Anthropology and a minor in Biochemistry. I am now in the process of applying to grad schools and med school (having successfully written my MCATs). I'm going back to school in the fall of 2000 to pick up physics and a statistics but then my undergrad work will be complete. Yay!

Still waiting, less than patiently some days, to hear from med schools. I've applied to the University of British Columbia, the Univeristy of Calgary and the University of Alberta. The waiting is getting rather stressful. It is difficult to have a entire path of your life based on whether or not a school decides to accept you. If I don't get into medical school, I'm not sure what I will do. Being a doctor is always what I have seen myself doing. I have other options but they aren't really what I want to do. Oh well. Time will tell and updates will arrive here as I have them.
Update 1-Mid March: No more waiting... Everyone, for a variety of fixable reasons, said no. This means med school is not in the works for next year. Thus, on to plan B; more undergrad courses to get my grades up and fulfill all the "1 full year" requirements. This will push back med school to 2003.
Update 2-Mid April: Registered for a year of undergraduate courses. Then, during a spot of tea with Tracy, the idea of doing a graduate degree came up. After doing some checking, I found that UNBC offered a master's degree in Community Health Planning. Not only should this help me out with my attempts to become an MD, it looks damned interesting. And it will get me more letters after my name :) With lots of luck, I might be able to enter for the fall semester; worst case, I won't start until January.
Update 3-Early May: Applied for grad school. Even found references that should say nice things about me. Kept my registration in for undergrad courses until I am accepted to the master's program for sure.
Update 4-

Another interest of mine is Tarot. In my travels around the web, I have found all sorts of interesting sites including this one...

Here we are, a Lewis Carroll quote that sums up my life more often than not...

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
