Today, I have one week left to finish my second system, and apparently I'm halfway through?
I cannot wrap my head around how August gave way to September, and how September silently merged into October. One moment ago it was the beginning of year two, and now I have one system and one week left to complete half of my second year in medicine.
*Cliche warning!*
Where did all the time go?
If there's one thing I have to talk about, on how med school changed me, it'll be the transformation of a typical totally Chinese-educated student, to one that is less obsessive about attendance and A's and knowing everything at the back of her head. Medicine taught me that I can never grasp all the knowledge in the world, and sometimes, it doesn't even matter. It's the learning and the 'ohhh' moments that make studying somewhat less dreadful. It's the ability to relate the tiny words in the textbooks to real life, and in my case, a human being that needs help.
My heart is already making its way to December. An entire month to be spent at home, with a well-equipped kitchen and a garden with water features to calm my soul.
october . november. december
