Winding Down

As the month of June comes to a close, I prepare to wrap up my work in Singapore and my time in Asia. I've taken my MCAT and my primary application for medical school is ready to be submitted.

So now with 47 days left, I have more time to travel, day dream, read, meet new people, and agonize. So I've managed to do a little bit of all that this first week.

I've signed on to help plan a few yummie get-togethers. I've agreed to lead worship for my cell. I'm reading A Long Way Gone, I've managed to jump off of my friends guest house balcony into the pool twice trusting that others would help me swim out of the water (I can't really swim. I also made a friend in the process). I've had great conversations over delicious home cooked meal with new friends (those are the best kind). I've had tough conversations with old friends (these are the hardest kind). I've planned a trip to India.

And I've worried over my MCAT and medical school options. But seeing as I have no idea what my score is and knowing that for me medicine in not an ambition but a calling, I'm no longer concerned with all that foolishness. Instead, I spend time day dreaming about going to Haiti, the non-profit work that I'll be doing when I get home, my mom's affection, hanging out with all the babies, and mentoring aspiring doctors in Haiti at medical school that has not been built.
