There was most definitely a feeling of "Wow, this year is really very nearly over" yesterday. We had our 4th year Practice OSCEs Saturday morning, which weren't a big deal at all because you pass the examination if you show up and just do it regardless of how good/bad you may be. Then later that night we had our end-of-year Class Dinner (with just three weeks of school left), which was great fun and at the same time left me with a twang of... wonderment. Is that the right word?
It seems as yet another year of med school slowly comes to an end I find myself having the (almost exact) same conversation with my med school friends yet again. An expected sense of deja vu, without so much the mysticism I guess.
I can't believe another year has come and gone. We're not just fourth years now... fourth year is over. After summer we'll be fifth years, studying for MEDICAL SCHOOL FINALS. Then we'll be Trainee Interns, and what an absolute adventure that'll be -- getting PAID, like actual money; being *somewhat* useful on the wards (hopefully); going overseas for three months for my elective.
Wonderment. I think it is the right word. Awe.
What's even more surprising is that even though so much has changed these four years, a part of me still feels like that second year med student standing outside the lecture theatre on Day 1, "99% excited 1% scared, or was it the other way around?" LoL Well, maybe that's a little too overkill, but I do think it's pretty freakin' amazing when I think of how far I've come in just four years, all that I've learnt (and continue to learn everyday), and how much not just me but my whole class has achieved in so short a time.
Wonderment... Definitely.
