Departure and Arrival

When I finally decided to pursue Medicine after graduation just a month ago, the realization was very sudden, like a bullet shot straight into my head. Now, a couple of minutes after 2010 set in, a different yet very significant realization hit me. I have been waiting for quite a while for it to finally arrive. Now, it's here. Finally, it's here. The best way to start to 2010, really :)

2009 was a painful year for me. It also was the most life-changing and stressful. But frankly, I wouldn't have it any other way (except for acad-related regrets haha). It taught me a lot. I've grown because of the things that I had to go through. I became stronger. I became more independent. Changing for the better and learning to move on never felt so real for me in the past year.

Ah, 2010. The highlights of this year would certainly be graduating from college, getting into med school, and moving closer to my deathly yet fulfilling dream of becoming a doctor. I am seriously excited! Of course I still have to endure tough and wild waters before I finish my undergrad studies (AKA Psych 135 and Chem 31), but what the heck, I know it'll be a great and crazy adventure :)

Will think of realistic, attainable resolutions tomorrow. Welcome, beautiful and awesome 2010!
