Decade Away

hmmm ten years... well i hope that the Mayans and many other scientists aren't correct when speculating that the world is going to end in 2012. I believe there are about 10 societies, physicist, and scientists that believe this is the case.( http://www.msghelp.net/showthread.php?tid=74463 ) that's the link if anyone is interested. It's actually all quite interesting but i won't go into that. I hope to do well on the MCAT so i will be through med school and continuing with my residency and hopefully specializing in opthalmology. Maybe during that time or soon after I can start a family and be living is a really nice place...maybe a city. I hope to have two doberman pinschers that will live in my home with me. I want to be very successful and respected. I love to learn so this will be a great opportunity to go through medical school and slam my brain with knowledge. It's really hard to say what it is going to be like in ten years, but I believe i will get to see a lot of new developments and awesome things. Maybe even a little space travel....

Web 2.0

Wow this video is reiterating about everything that everyone has said about computers. That computers are taking over the world. This is true and it is a good thing. It bothers me when people talk bad about computers and say that they are causing too much dependency and change. Computers mean more to our civilization and how the world works than gravity. This video shows how you can do so much with computers and view so much information without a lot of hassle. It is talking about how it links people from around the world and spreads ideas. For example, I saw a button at the top of my screen that said next blog and was wondering what it was. I clicked it about four times and each time it came up to a blog that was in another language from someone in another country. This shows you that the internet is a place for people to get away and share their thoughts and more over cables and satellites. Anyone who is going into a workforce that has anything to do with technology needs to have some knowledge of Web 2.0. Computers aren't going anywhere, so those dealing with or about to be dealing with computes need to wake up and be prepared. Rethink Everything A.K.A. Learn

NewBee

Hi,
My name is Andrew Owens, and I am currently a Junior at Clemson University. I am a Pre-Vet major, but I plan on applying to medical school next fall. I am taking a Kaplan MCAT course right now that I believe will be tough on top of my already busy schedule.
I am from a small town called, Pleasant Hill, SC. Pleasant Hill is about an hour away from Myrtle Beach where I spend most of my time. I enjoy hanging out with my friends and making money. I am ready to learn all I need to know to succeed in this class. What I learn in this class should come in handy in my future, unlike physics.
