I had such a good birthday today and I'm not sure why exactly but it did feel extra "special." I think it's because it's the first one I've celebrated where I got to share it with a friend -- a good friend who was born on the exact same day and year as me. Not many people get to experience that, but man, it's pret-ty cool.
I understand now and agree with people who say that the friends you make in college are the friends you have for life. I think it's very true and I realised today I'm blessed with some pretty awesome people in my life.
It's weird -- not just the thought of being twenty, but actually seeing how... how much has changed... how much I've changed. When did I become a college student? A med student?? This twenty year old??? At heart I still feel like that fourteen year old girl in Seattle, doing extra credit for Honours English and going to the mall with her friends. (Yes, an unexpected combination, I know; I just wrote the first things I could remember!) And now, in what seems like nothing but a blink of the eye, I feel like as if I'm officially entering the next phase of my life where it's not about 'growing up' anymore but... becoming a doctor... finding my "guy"... entering the work force... becoming an "adult."
I know I keep saying this, but it's amazing how much can change in just five years. It's scary to think where I'll be in the next five to come. Hopefully finishing up my House Surgeon years and deciding which university to go to for my Masters in Public Policy... hahaha... yeah. Georgetown here I come!!
