Big Changes

I was at the grocery store today and a lady totally hit me with her cart, banging the corner into my ankle and running over my foot. It hurt, yo. Right after it happened I turned with a surprised/pained look on my face, and she said all nonchalantly: "Oh did I hit you? I'm sorry" but totally not sincerely! I was totally pissed at her insincerity so I said "yes" and I really wanted to give her an earful about how she not only hit me, she also ran over my foot. But I sucked it up and let it go. I didn't even give her a really dirty look.

I guess I's growin' up, y'all.

It's been awhile since I last posted. I don't really know where the time goes, to tell you the truth. It feels like just yesterday I was living in Philly ordering Minar Palace and watching ALIAS with the gals on a regular basis, and then BAM! here I am, almost done with med school, dealing with a terrible case of senioritis (seriously, I am sooo lazy. And don't get me started on the hookie I've played). Have you ever felt that life moves by in this really weird fast-forward-yet-slow-motion, where time feels like it's dragging but at the same time you're watching your life just whiz past you? And then, every now and then, you hit a transition period, and suddenly you become acutely aware of it all - what you've accomplished, and what lies ahead. I'm in a transition period right now, with tons going on:

• Eric is leaving me! His stuff is already moved to his new apartment in DC, and he's headed there on Sunday to start school. Yay for him! But sad for me. But yay overall! DC is a great city and we had a blast exploring last weekend. I'm super excited about living there after I graduate. So yay overall!
• I got a new roommate! Her name is the same as mine, which is going to make for an interesting year... She is super nice, and I know her through a friend. I'm optimistic about this roommate experience...
• This will be my last roommate experience, as this time next year I will be - wait for it - MARRIED!
• There's a wedding to plan! I'm finally starting to gain some momentum with this planning stuff. You can even check out the beta stage of our wedding website (sign the guest book!)
• Residency applications are due at the end of this month. Icky!

I'm pretty optimistic about life right now. When I applied for med school I was an anxious, insecure mess, and I definitely procrastinated because of it. This year I'm motivated to stay on top of things and really try to match at the program I want to go to. So here goes, I guess!
