guh.

my father ceases to amaze me.

i was just informed that he almost chose to major in psychology. like, he started studying it and stuff. 

so, so far what i have learned about the possible career paths my dad could have taken:

1. Doctor - and there were a million different kinds of doctors he might have been (but, he’s a general surgeon now…and apparently he’s the head of the heartburn center at rex hospital)
2. a professional athlete -  the summer before he started medical school, he was offered to play on holland’s minor soccer (excuse me, FOOTBALL) team. he said that since he was awesome at punting, he could have come back to the U.S. and become a kicker for the NFL…what even?
3. a psychiatrist and all that jazz…
4. in my personal opinion, he could have been a politician….except that he isn’t very tactful…he says some pretty controversial things…hahahha…but he knows so much about politics and the economy…he could so do it.
5. a writer. dear Lord. he is one of the BEST writers i know. stupid doctor stuff, always taking up his time. he’s told me a bunch of his story ideas and their just like…adklfjaslkfjalskdfjlaksdjflasdkfj “mind blown that you are so epic”.

dkasjflksadjflkajdsflkasjdf.

and on top of that, he seems to know everything about anything. 

although he describes himself as “a jack of all trades, master of none…except surgery” 

oh my gosh. 

why does no one believe me when i say he’s brilliant?

until of course they talk to him. then their like….whoa.

come talk to my dad.

he’s awesome.
