REASONS I AM INSANE
1. A teeny tiny little part of my brain actually thinks I can get into medical school.
2. An even teenier tinier little part of my brain thinks I can SURVIVE medical school, residency, and all that debt.
3. Although only .002% of my brain thinks I can do this, I'm still pushing ahead with a plan that is most likely unrational, unrealistic, and just plain dumb.
THINGS I WISH SOMEONE WOULD HAVE TOLD ME ABOUT HOME-OWNERSHIP
1. When things break, you have to fix them. Otherwise, they're bound to get worse.
2. You have to mow your lawn on a regular basis or it gets very scary walking into the backyard, where just about anything could be hiding.
3. Even though it's awfully nice to sit on your ass doing nothing all day, you won't get many opportunities to do that when the washer, dryer, and dishwasher are all full at the same time, the floors need to be mopped, and the spiders in the corner of the ceiling are living the high life in their mansion webs that seem to be getting bigger.
4. There are some things that should never...EVER...be put in the dishwasher.
5. The roof will only last so long...and when that goes, the septic system and well will both jump on the bandwagon, too.
6. Wheelbarrows with three wheels are much more useful than the crappy kind with one wheel on the front - but they're too expensive so you'll have to make do with the crappy one.
7. Don't get too comfortable getting comfortable. If you get used to it being 72 degrees in the winter and 62 in the summer, you'll be expecting that kind of luxury all the time - nope, better to wear layers...or nothing at all if given the right circumstances.
