I'm going to be a real MEDICAL DOCTOR!!!!

May 14, 2009 01:00

That's right. It's true. It's taken four long years but I'm here and ready to go. Where have I been for the last few weeks? Well, Scope&Scalpel has been eating up all my free time. Anyone who says the end of fourth year is a piece of cake obviously hasn't been filming, dancing, singing and learning lines. Come see my play www.scopeandscalpel.org !!!!

I don't have many "big" parts but I have the best curtain call I've ever had which rocks. I do have a real character who I play very well - this incredibly terrible surgeon who hates students (she's real too). I get to throw things and hit people and scream. It's great. So not me in real life. I'm dancing and my sets look AMAZING.

I never knew I could paint. Our sets are projected which means we take something someone drew, scan it into a computer and project it onto the stage - very nyc. I know my mom paints professionally and my grandmother was gifted but I never really took classes and I certainly never painted with watercolors. Imagine my surprise at just how good my stuff really was. People compliment me all the time. It was like I was just born with it. It amazes me what I can do when people ask for it. I really liked doing it, too. More than anything else, having other people enjoy my art and love what I do is priceless.

I never dreamed I would be here. I didn't know if I could do it. I'm done with therapy. I am a WHOLE person who is as ready as she can be for the next chapter in my life. Change is good, a bit scary and sad to leave something that just seems to be getting under way. Still, I can't wait to be a resident, to introduce myself as Doctor...... I can't wait. Monday morning. Come to graduation Monday morning and see me take the next step in living my best life and becoming my true self.

graduation, doctor, scope and scalpel
