Happy New Year everyone! It’s been a wonderful and challenging semester for me. I hope it’s been all good for you.
This semester…was a struggle. I didn’t do as great as I thought I would academically. Organic chemistry completely and totally owned me. Great news: I have to take it next semester, too. Maybe I like pain…? Everything started out okay. I did great on the in-class exam. Did horrible on the next two. (You have no idea how horrible. It physically HURT to look at my exam. T_T) And then I did excellently on the final. Still did get to where I wanted.
At that point, I was reconsidering my future. Rethinking med school. Rethinking MY LIFE! To put it nicely, I sat in the corner of my room, sulking. My Mom called, being the awesome little woman she is, and told me, “Shut up and study. Think about the details later.” I love you, Mom.
And that’s why I decided to stay where I am. It is NOT over! For any of you that are in the same boat, someone told me, I think it was my friend’s overly loud and merry, not to mention, drunk, uncle at her Christmas party, “As long as you’re alive, good things will come.” That is very true. Because right after those finals and I got home: all the food I could eat, and lounging around playing video games. Good things, good things.
I have pictures….that I will somehow put up…when I get a new wire that will attach to my phone. My dog (no, seriously) ate my wire. Believe me. I want to brag about my food.
