It seems my life keeps on getting busier.
I thought I had it bad in undergrad. Boy, was I wrong.
So here's an update for those who still look at LJ. I'm halfway through my 2nd year of med school. Next year we take our boards. I've stayed in the city instead of going back to Florida, my home, just to study for them. It has been semi-depressing.
Many days, I might just sit around and attempt to study. It's very hard, because my mind is looking for that mental break, but at the same time I am worried about how I perform on the boards. It pretty much seals your fate from that Step 1 Score.
So here I sit, late at night. I took a nap and am paying for it now. No one else is awake, and all I have are my thoughts again.
I spent this Christmas with my girlfriend in the city. It felt good to be there with her. We made dinner for several nights straight, and even made blueberry pancakes for Christmas morning. It has surely been a delight. She brings joy back into my life, as any counterpart should. For that, I am thankful.
Since my last true update, a lot has happened. Too much, and I don't even remember which audience I told it to last. Whether it be on Tumblr, or Blogspot, or here. Ah, well...it's not like I have a big following anyway. These are places that I just like to type out my thoughts and feelings. Hopefully it will help me to make sense of it all, and find out more of who I am.
But anyway, since then, school came and took me away. I've been in New York for three years now, this May. It's a crazy thought. People say that I'm officially a New Yorker, but that seems off for me. I feel after a while of living here, can I truly feel like this is home. Maybe my cutoff is 5 years at least.
Since that time, I've at least progressed, experiencing new things, meeting new interesting people, and most of all documenting a lot of it in photos.
My brother is supposed to arrive tomorrow, er...tonight from LA. I can only hope that his time here will help me release a lot of what I've been holding back in terms of stress, photographic block, and the feeling of being a hermit for a good portion of my break.
I honestly wish I had more photographer friends in the city. Then again, perhaps it is best that I don't. While classes resume, I will have numerous news feed posts of city shots, street photography and everything else. It would be a dilute version of torture.
Anyway, hope all is well with you all. I swear I think only a few people (at most) even post on LJ anymore.
