I can't believe it's already November! Fall is my favorite time of year, and I am really enjoying a REAL fall this year. The leaves are red and orange, the air is crisp... its such a great feeling!
I bet you thought only 5-year-olds liked playing in the leaves....
Which brings me to the point of this post: I still love medical school. There are days when I get a bit stressed when lots of things are going on at once, but at the end of the day, I am so thankful for the opportunity to be here. How many people get the chance to truly say they are doing something they absolutely love?! Every day I have to pinch myself and ask "Am I really here? I have been waiting for this so long!"... I am still in the "honeymoon phase" I guess, but after a pretty intense, LONG block, I think that is a good sign. I know I belong here.
Speaking of Block 1, we are almost done! I can't believe how much we have learned this block, yet how much more we have to learn. Its such a weird feeling to feel like I have a lot more under my belt, yet to still feel extremely useless in a clinical setting. That's okay though, the upperclassmen say that will go away with time (a lot of time)....
So, weirdly, all of the sudden all of your posts since August showed up on my RSS feed... and here I thought you hadn't blogged in months!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you've been at it the whole time... I've got a lot of reading to do!
