I mean really smart.\u00a0 She is ambitious, independent and opinionated. Classic over achiever, yet, she&#8217;s socially awkward. She&#8217;s had only one boyfriend.<\/p>\n<p>When the story starts she&#8217;s seeing an older man, a doctor who works at the practice with her father. She&#8217;s a receptionist. She took a few years off after graduating from Columbia (or some other school in NYC) till she decided and was ready for med school. Of course, the doctor was married and she didn&#8217;t know. The only bit of angst in the story I plan to have. It will however, piss her off, and she&#8217;ll end up deciding on going to med school in NM. UNM is known for its family medicine program and the med school is pretty good as a whole. Also, her mother&#8217;s family is from NM and I have to write a bit about what I know, right?\u00a0 I don&#8217;t know what will happen&#8230; or much else. Hell, I said I don&#8217;t really have a plot for this story.<\/p>\n<p>She has an older brother and they fight like crazy, but they&#8217;d go to the ends of the earth for each other. In my head he looks like Adrien Brody. She looks a bit like Jamie Lynn Sigler actually.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; now I need a plot. Something to happen. A direction. I&#8217;m just fleshing out background and a few scenes in my head. Man&#8230; what am I thinking?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 8 but really only my second day of writing.
