Specialties I'm supposed to do

So after taking a "pathway evaluation program," half way through my first semester in medical school. Here are my "specialty compatibilities," (whatever that means) according to http://medweb.usc.edu/pathways/interior.htm?self-assessment.htm.

1. Vascular Surgery
2. Neurological Surgery
3. Thoracic Surgery
4. Colon and Rectal Surgery
5. Neonatal - Perinatal Medicine
6. Pulmonary / Critical Care Medicine
7. Pediatric Surgery
8. General Surgery
9. Gastroenterology
10. Orthopedic Surgery

I wonder how these will change as I progress through med school, or at least get some clinical experience! Surgery does seem fun, though. Although I am looking forward to neurology and that ranked low on the list (22 of 42 specialties). Only time will tell, I suppose.

To people reading this: Take the survey (It takes about 5 minutes) then post your specialties in the response section. Although most of the people I know, I bet I could guess. :-)

P.S. I am REALLY REALLY good at killing mosquitos with my hands, as I just once again proved to myself... Even better than Obama, I'd say.
