Hello, everyone. I'm sorry for the delay in posting--I was doing so well for a while, but I moved to Pittsburgh and I just started my first year of medical school. Yipes.
With the beginning of this part in my life comes a lot of anxieties. I'm going to miss my better half too much. How will I make any good friends who actually care about me? Will I be able to stay afloat and maintain my sanity? Why can't I stop my roommate's dog from leaving presents in my bedroom?
Well, the one thing I am terrified about is staying afloat, in an academic sense. First of all, I will just have to get used to the fact that I am no longer going to be at the top of my class. I just hope that I'm not more towards the bottom, because that would be disappointing for me. Perhaps I've been spoiled, but I'm used to always doing well and being towards the top. I need to adjust my expectations, because I know I'm with a lot of people who are more intelligent than me. I feel even worse because I wasn't accepted outright; I was pulled off of the waitlist pretty late. Le sigh.
