Hello blog world! I have decided that it is time I start posting since I am coming to realize that I will be leaving in less than 3 months for medical school... Daunting, yet exciting.
I would have thought that my first post would be when I officially accepted admission to Saba University School of Medicine - that's when I first created this blog. But I haven't felt that need to post because the fact that I will be going to medical school didn't sink in until last week. So let me tell you that last Thursday I was in the TD Bank office with our amazing rep hearing that I got approved for an $180 000 loan! I couldn't stop smiling. I was excited and relieved. Those feeling are not typical of a person who is signing away the next 15 years of their life to living in debt. But for me it was amazing because I realized I actually have funding to pay my way through getting my MD. It's actually happening! ... Uprooting my comfortable life in Toronto and going to the Caribbean. Everyone says I am so lucky that I will be living on an island. To me it's medical school; I am going with the thought of studying 24/7 and eventually making time to eat and enjoy the warm air. Exciting. Anxious. Nervous. Fear?... My thoughts are all mixed up but I do know that whenever I say to someone that I am going to be a doctor I have a goofy smile on my face so that should be a sign... right?
