Dear Crazed,

This is your life and you should do what you want to do with it. I guess you could audit a bunch of Bio classes and take her to them when she arrives, pretending like you have a clue. However, that's pretty dishonest, not to mention a waste of time, Tell her. If your mother loves you, she will understand. if she doesn't, explain to her all the useful things you can do with Folk and Myth (like academia or running Columbia Pictures like Folk and Myth grad Lisa Henson) and how you just weren't cut out for medicine. Be honest. Lying will only make you more upset.
