It has been a while since I've written here. I'm a bit like the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland these days -- disgruntled, a bit crazy, and always late. However, I've been inspired by a few of my friends' blog posts and how they're able to grip my emotions with their eloquence. I guess the dream is that I'll get to that point one day if I continue writing, even if for just a little bit every couple of days.
I've finally made it to second year. The feeling of being abandoned and left behind still hasn't quite disappeaered completely, but I no longer feel myself sinking into that familiar pool of longing and self-pity every time I see one of my old classmates. Baby steps, right? We're currently on Core II, aptly named the "drugs and bugs" block. The sheer amount of material is overwhelming, and I'm quite certain I won't be able to pull off that miraculous A like I did for the first test. Nothing's going to stop me from trying my hardest, though. No more of my immaturity will be tolerated this year.
On a brighter note, I recently moved in to my newly renovated apartment! It's beautiful. Everything's new, and I've locked in the $725 rate for the next two years. As soon as this test is over, I'm going to finish unpacking and turn this place into my not-so-little refuge from life for the rest of medical school. I'm quite excited. This is the first nice apartment I've ever lived in, and let me tell you -- a girl could get used to this.
Anyway, I've probably already spent more time than I should have on this instead of studying. Here's to hoping our next meeting shall come sooner than later.
