The feeling of being let down and disappointed is horrible. What you thought would happen didn't, and it sucks at times. Oh well...
My grandfather was diagnosed with cancer this week. He has a tumor in his duodenum, and they think the cancer may have spread to his pancreas and lymph nodes. I know he's worried. His mother died from pancreatic cancer when she was about his age. I feel so guilty for not getting to know he and my granny better over the years. I know it's not entirely my fault. It's hardly my fault at all, really. But it's still sad, and I wish that I could now. Keep him in your prayers.
Jerry and I are planning on taking a vacation to the mountains in May. It ought to be a lot of fun, if we can get it organized. I'm really looking forward to it, for many reasons. Mainly just because we need a break from work and school, though.
Premed schooling is going well. So far (knock wood)it's a lot easier than I thought it would be. I've always heard these horror stories about statistics, but it's actually been a bit easy for me. I've always been good at math, though. Surprisingly, I'm also doing well at chemistry. I've never been that great at chemistry, but it's suddenly making sense to me now. I just hope it continues to go well. If all goes according to plan, I'm going to take my first MCAT in a little over a year. I'll apply to med schools in the fall, about the time both Jerry and I finish. And hopefully while Jerry's being a cool little band director at some school, I'll be learning how to dissect dead people and take radiographs and all that cool stuff as a first year med student!! Sometimes it still seems surreal. I can't believe I'm actually doing this! Some people dream of being rock stars or actors. I dream of being a doctor. Weird, huh?
Hope all is going well with everyone else! :)
