So
yeah, I just turned twenty and my life went 360° all of a sudden. For a recap,
my senior year so far...in one word: OVERWHELMING.
I
gave myself the whole month of September to reflect on possibilities,
opportunities, and regrets (too general, I’m conscious of that) =)) Oh well. By
the end of this month, I have decided.
Today
is my DEADLINE. yeay.
In
the past few weeks, I think everything is a constant reminder of Med school. My
family has been very supportive on “whatever career” I would choose in the
future. But basically, the “whatever career” falls in just one category:
MEDICINE. It’s like choosing with only one choice.
As
I celebrated my birthday last September 17, I also received three awesome gifts
from my three favorite siblings with M.D.’s at the end of their names. And the
gifts I received are all reminders of “brace yourself, Med school applications
are coming!” Ate Lilia gave me a wrist watch from ALDO. Maybe, “it’s time!”
or “time’s running out” or simply, “tick tock, tick tock” =)) Brother gave me a cutie party bag from
Debenhams. I really thought it was a party bag, but when I looked at the tag...
“mini doctor’s bag” =)) Lastly, ate Rosette gave me a blouse from XOXO plus a
snakeskin iphone case. Her gifts were on my bed, and under the XOXO paper bag
was a folder—a folder that contained a med school application printout for UERM
=)) very concrete =))
Honestly,
I’m so stressed right now. Pressured, indeed. But you know what? After
considering a lot of alternatives aside from Med school...I’m still choosing
Med school. I made a promise to my Mom and Dad; I’m not just going to keep
it...wait until I make it real :)
