the final year

Oct 03, 2005 12:21

My first update in ages.

To report is mainly that I am now well and truly in my final year of learning how to be a doctor, and . . . mixed feelings. Of course I'm glad that I can kind of now see the light at the end, but on the other hand

I don't know. Speaking to some other people in my year, it seems they're pretty much all of them really really enjoying it, including people who until now avoided going in. Some people've described the week we've just had as the best in their lives.

I guess I'm kind of in awe of the situation. I think it's safe to say that for the first time in my life I'm now having to face the prospect of, if not growing up completely, then at least forcing some significant part of me to finally FINALLY grow up and be an adult. And not just any half-arsed adult but a super-functioning responsible adult. I just can't afford to be a kid anymore. There's no going back.

That's what I've learned from last week, and as such it wasn't the best time in my life.

Hell, it wasn't a bad time. Just not THE best, is what I'm saying, because of that realisation an' all.

final year
