| | almost 2 months have passed since my last entry. some quick updates:
- i recharged my laptop. hehe.
- traveled a lot since then for interviews. love chicago. not a big providence fan. didn't like atl as much as i did in the past.
- i've gotten the question, "so now that med school's almost over, are you glad you did it?" my answer, "i don't know. i honestly can't imagine myself doing anything else, though." clarification: this is not qua 'because this is what i always wanted to do, i found my calling, hallelujah', but rather, 'i have been so engulfed in this thing for the past 4 years, it's hard to distinguish my identity from it, at least at this point. hopefully i'll be able to, one day.'
- and typical follow-up response: "but i'm really glad i picked neurology. or that neurology picked me. actually, that God picked neurology for me. now that.. THAT.. is awesome."
- i have this pathologic yearning for my cat whenever i'm away from him. it starts when i close the front door.
finally... FINALLY.. i am seeing the end of fourth year, med school, possibly life in new orleans. satisfaction has reached this level in my life such that the occasional chest pains, palpitations, episodes of dyspnea, as well as memory lapse, have almost completely left me. in fact, i am almost symptom-free, aside from the bouts of dyspepsia. nothing a little ppi can't alleviate. i'm learning to play john legend songs on the piano, and even though this winter is a bit warmer than i would appreciate - man are the days gorgeous.
in truth, the reason for this entry is because i thought that i had abandoned xanga forever. i visit facebook occasionally, but it's not the same as having a place solely dedicated to writing thoughts. or thots. (you know, the shorter, more ephemeral version) and recently i went through some pages of my old xanga entries, looking for some pictures, and truly appreciated being able to relive those old memories and trains of thoughts, thanks to my bouts of literary verbosity.
it was... nice.
so '07 was a year of finishing up rotations, solidifying my interest in neurology and chicago, gaining a sister in law, and then some.
and '08 will be a year of finishing med school, starting residency, getting my first paycheck (however meager it'll be), and then some.
excited. freaked out of my mind, but still... not too shabby, ya know? |
