First thing first... I carved my first pumpkin today! 
Yes, first one ever. Brynne and Heather and I had our own little pumpkin carving party. All the pumpkins turned out great! Mine's now smiling at me from across the room.
Now onto the main subject...
I've been going over all my options lately on a career change. I just want to do more with my life. Do more to change this world.
I had a long conversation with Dr. Riskin today. Dr. Riskin is a young outstanding surgeon who also happens to be a MIT Sloan alumni. Graduated at 15 from high school, with a MD and MBA degree, an innovator and founder of two companies; he was also voted as one of the top 30 innovators under the age of 35 by the MIT Technology Review. Just the person I need to talk to. Who's been down the path I'm about to embark. I feel so fortunate to have him as a mentor. He had raised many thought provoking questions and options for me to ponder. I know this is a long jouney I'm about to take. It's a very tough decision right now. It would be easier if my life and career is worse. But it's not. It's great. My life is great and I'm happy. This makes it difficult.
Yes, it's 3:29am right now. I stayed up and did as much research as I could and I think I've narrowed it down to a couple options. Down to two schools and two different programs and one laboratory. I think now will be a good time to visit the campuses and talk to some students and professors.
Yawn... I don't think I can solve this tonight. This won't be a short one...
