    Hi Filipus. Yes, you are correct. I am Indonesian. Tapi maaf, ya? Being born and raised in the US, my Indonesian is pretty bad… Although I can understand more than I speak. Good luck to you too.. I’ll have to check out your blog.

    Hey Jeff,
    Sorry about the email not working…looks like I spelled it wrong…shame on me..

    But basically, I just started this blogsite and its for premed majors and those of interest. I would like to ask you some questions maybe through email.

    my email is basicallymed@gmail.com

    The questions are along the line of Name, Type of Doctor, School you went to , Website link, Picture, and etc. This will be included in the weekly (Be A “-”). For example Be A Pediatrician: YOUR NAME and interview below.
    If you are still interested please contact me at the above email. Thanks for the quick reply.
    I’m am a memeber of the Biology Club at Montclair State University and I will hopefully have many my fellow members reading it. So thanks alot!

    My spelling is pretty bad as well…lol

  9. Basically Medicine Says:

    Well, I know your not a doctor, but I mean..what type of doctor are you trying to become

  10. Basically Medicine Says:

    Honestly, I ask my self this question so much and it kills me because its the same question that keeps me undecided about school in general. With every instance that I find this question arising in my thoughts, I feel like im opening the door to doubt and doubt can quickly change my reasoning…..so here is what I do. I make my list of pro’s and my list of cons.
    I include, what what I be if I weren’t in this major and pursuing this career. And the funny thing is that I cant really think of any other “realistic” thing I would want be.

  11. Jeff W Says:

    Thanks. The list is a good idea :)
