Anything Can Happen

Inspired by Ellie Goulding's eeriely addictive electronic song of the same name, my summer can be characterized as such. Or I'd like to think of it that way. Some excitement is due my way after the last exhausting few weeks of med school, and after the last few uneventful days (which I resigned myself to house arrest due to inexplicable heat outside lol) as well.

And to that anything which can happen anytime soon - i say, bring it on, let my remaining few weeks of summer bliss be exciting. I shall say yes to everything. (Please count out any self-destructing activities hahaha or anything absurdly stupid. I can do somewhat stupid hahaha)

Bring it on!

Oh hey, it's Summer!

Finally caught a break! 

What a rollercoaster 1st year in med school. March was literally hell on earth. A month just taking exams exams and more exams. Oh but hey, I survived. One year down, three more to go, plus internship, Boards, Residency and the rest of my life.

Easily said, or type-written, than done, I know.

But for now, I'm going to chill out (ironic, it's freaking hot outside), relax, and sleep all day (well, maybe just half a day). Watch TV and movies like there's no tomorrow. Read novels! God, I missed reading non-academic things. Listen to music without reading anything academic with it! Yay! One Republic's new album just came out, and bam, listening to it! Digging Imagine Dragons too.

:D Excited for being busy by planning summer get-aways with my HS, Bio and Med friends.

We shall see. The days are long and the nights, equally long HAHA. (I think the days are longer, since it's summer.)

For now....

I'M FREEEEEE! (From the academic responsibilities I mean, but nonetheless, I'm still a law-abiding citizen of this country and this world, so please don't look me up at precincts, expecting me to have gone wild without respect for rules HAHAHA) =))

A Big Cheerio,

Issa

Is the glass half-empty?

Dear friend,

Suddenly all these feelings rush back in with just a song emanating from the background.

I feel like I've achieved some things
I should be thankful for in my life so far, minor things really, like getting my degree and surviving med school so far.

BUT I feel empty. And worthless, not good enough. Why? I don't understand this heart or brain of mine. I'm such a mess.

Help.

Vis a vis

Because all these thoughts in my head have been crammed up for the past few weeks...and because all these quizzes and stuff for med school are ALSO crammed up in my limited-capacity brain.

I'm just glad that I'm able to take a few moments of my time and write here.

Many things, both trivial and significant, have happened since I last wrote here - not only to me, but it was actually more of what happened to my dearest friends.

One endured a heartbreak. One made a tough decision which could alter the future's course. One is still looking for something purposeful (but aren't we all?). One broke - or maybe is still breaking, under the pressure.

I wish I could do something for them. I wish I could. But all I could ever do is lend an ear and try to understand. I know they'll be fine, eventually. But I'm continuing to pray that in whichever way the wind blows, they'll still remain as resilient as a bamboo tree and accepting of the fact that things happen for a reason and there will always be a good reason, we might just not know it now.

They're stronger than they think they are, face to face with a future unbeknownst to them. But they're strong.

And if they aren't, I'll be strong for them.
