Hello my lovelies, long time no see! It's been a while since my last entry, be it a testament of how busy Medicine has kept me or how bad I am at multi-tasking. In any case, it's the day after Medicine is over and time to reflect on the past 8 weeks, so without further ado...
I want for you to share this feeling with me. It's somewhat described by the following metaphor: When we first get these new sneakers, they're unfamiliar and uncomfortable, needing some breaking in. But since they're still shiny and novel, we're excited to wear them anyway. We wear them in for a while, finding moments that they're hard to keep on. In time, we discover the magic (aka sticking power) of velcro and apply them to our sneakers. There! Much easier but somewhat awkward-looking. So we continue to look for a better way to keep these sneakers on. Eventually, we learn how to tie the shoe laces and no longer need the velcro. Now we're really walking confidently and effortlessly (relatively speaking...). For a while that's what we do, until the end when someome tells us too soon that it's time to get a new pair. As fun as that sounds, we're now comfortable...and perhaps attached...but we reluctantly give these up, and ready ourselves for the next pair.
If the above made absolutely no sense, all I'm trying to say is that I'm going to miss Medicine.
...to be continued...
