medical school and my perfect summer.
the news came over a week ago, and i've been meaning to blog about the insanity that is GETTING INTO MEDICAL SCHOOL, but it's been so crazy the past little while that i've put it off until NOW!
sometimes i wonder if i'm going to wake up from this dream soon. however, it's almost 2 weeks after i got the congratulatory email from UT and the reality of it all is settling into my mind now. i got the email last tuesday morning, and i spent the day randomly screaming around the house. the amount of elation i felt in those screaming moments simply erased months and years of stress, tears, and anxiety. i will not kid you, it has been no easy road. i wouldn't have been able to get to this point without amazing support from family and friends, but most of all, this would've never happened without all the God-moments i've encountered on this journey. i felt my calling, and He has not failed to sustain, guide, and provide for me.
I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!! people have asked me how i'm going to celebrate and spend the rest of my summer. my answer? just PLAY HARD!!!! hahaha, but yes, seriously, that's what i'm going to do. i'm trying to get as much playtime out of my system as i can before i start the wild ride of med school. i had my Caribbean cruise, joined ultimate frisbee and softball leagues, went hiking in niagara, watched "The Phantom of the Opera," and i will be spending july in asia (malaysia, hk, and shanghai). so far, lots of time has gone into hanging out with my family and seeing friends! dinners out, desserts at william's, gardening with my folks, girls' nights at sue's, spa visits (and wonderland and skydiving?! lol) with hannah, and there will only be more events to come. :) this is the kind of summer i've always wanted but have never been able to experience because of school and MCAT-prep.
in my down time, i run errands (lots of paperwork involved with registering for med school!), condo-hunt, and learn some Financial Planning 101.
all in all, summer '07 is going to be my best yet. :D
