anxiety, anger, humility, intimidation, confidence, despair, elation.... I never though I would experience all of these in a period of 50 days. Between tests, relationships and general fatigue, I can't believe that I am still standing at this very moment. I realized for the first time, how strong of a person I truly am. I have overcome so many obstacles to get here, and now that I am here it feels like it is an even harder battle. So far I have persevered and I feel like I owe that to a few special things: my ipod, my desktop picture of Mr. Bentley, my family in VT, my friends here, my macbook , my pooh bear, and my deodorant. You can laugh, but seriously, I have realize how it is the little things along with the hard work and determination within, that can get you through even the toughest of times. I just completed week six, three tests down, 4 more and a final to go. In the past few weeks I met a new friend.......

His name is baby Netter's... my anatomy bible. I am also becoming quite fond of Mr. Lippincott, although he has been hiding out for a few weeks. My life is medical school right now, I eat, sleep and breath course work and I barely have enough time to devote to this blog. But at the end of the day how do I feel? Happy, excited, anxious knowing that I am one day closer to pursing my dream. Each day I am astonished as to how much information I have learned, and I look forward to the next day, and the next day and the next after that. WIth everything in my life being turned upside down, I am content knowing that I am here..... I made it.... I am making it... and I have determination to succeed. I am holding it together because...... I WANT THIS.
