So...Where Are You Going to Medical School???

Lately everyone has been asking me this question and I honestly don't have an answer for them. Over the past few months I've almost stopped thinking about it because I simply don't have all the facts yet to make the right decision. I've only heard a final decision back from three out of the five schools I was interviewed at and don't yet know what kind of financial aid packages any of them will offer. Rather than perseverate over where I'm going to end up, I'm doing everything in my power to make sure that I'll be ready for the grueling reality of first year. This basically means that I'm taking it pretty easy. I have a few trips planned for the spring/summer and am really looking forward to getting out of the country and exploring parts of the world I've never been to before. More than that, I'm excited to see friends, eat new/strange food, enjoy the sunshine, jump in puddles, tramp through valleys and up mountains, lie on beaches and read as many books as I can possibly devour. I want to make this a summer to remember and that's what I'm focusing on right now. So to all of those who are curious about where I'll be for school next year - join the club! I promise I will let you know as soon as I do but until then take a page out of my book and chill out, go do something fun, bake a cake, kiss your significant other or watch a good movie. It's important to enjoy the ride :)
