Every once in a while I have a dream featuring the city, the people and my past experiences from Boston '04, normally followed by a period of nostalgia (the good type).
Needless to say, I am currently feeling a wee bit nostalgic; further exacerbated by the absolutely gorgeous spring days we've been having this week, a precursor to the summer months ahead which I am now looking forward to with brewing anticipation. Not to mention the fact that Kirsty is now officially living in Auckland and enjoying the generally much warmer temperatures c.f. Dunedin, of which I am daily reminded!
This year feels like it's basically OVER. On Friday I picked up my introductory booklets/papers/etc for Surgery and I have to admit, I am OFFICIALLY excited. Fourth year has thus far been a year of new, uniquely "medical school" experiences, and undoubtedly, Theatre will be no different. And the icing on the cake? The surgeons I've been attached to. :)
The scary thing is (again, in a good way) I know Surgery will be over before I know it, and subsequently, this year. And as I look toward summer, I'm acutely aware of the fact that I am one year closer to the end of med school, one year closer to graduation, one year closer... to being a doctor. Strange.
One last contributing factor to my summer day nostalgia? In exactly two years from now I will be starting my medical elective, heading off for three months of travel overseas to WHEREVER I WANT TO GO. Boston? New York? Washington D.C.? Seattle? Geneva? London? Oxford? Dublin? Prague? Santiago? Buenos Aires? Seirra Leone? Botswana? Zambia?
Med school is AWESOME.
P.S. Our magnolia tree has begun to blossom once again!
