Sweet

Hello!!

My, my, my, it's been a long time!! I'm truly sorry about that. Things have been INSANE!! April was a time for exams...2 A+s and 1A...yes all I did was study and stay up until 6:30am lol. Very crazy. May was a time for birthdays (4 of them in my family alone!) and for thinking. June was a time for scrambling!! I'll explain.

So...the previous post about not being there for Easter next year...well, that's going to be a reality. I'M GOING TO MEDICAL SCHOOL IN AUSTRALIA!!! Holy shit! This explains all the pensive thoughts of the previous months and wanting to be happy etc. My schooling will be very expensive though...it's going to cost me approx. $50 000/year for tuition alone (yikes!); so June was the month to scramble to arrange finances. But I have to do what makes me happy, and having my life finally on track makes me really happy.

This is a massive change though, and one I'll have to adapt to. I have no friends or family down under, so this will be a solitary journey. I still have much to think about, but I'm determined to look at it positively. I mean, I get to study medicine and prepare for the best job in the world in a sub-tropical climate, an hour away from the beach!! I get to study in a place where it rarely goes below 15C!! My school is ranked 28th in the world for medicine, and Princeton ranks at #27...I can't ask for more! So, although this is bittersweet, I'm going to focus more on the "sweet" part. :)
