5 years, 4 months and a week to go....

To officially become a doctor. Though I've stopped counting the days after the first 2 weeks of medical school. Because everyone started becoming more friendly, we have our share of inside jokes, medical jokes and just plain random fun from time to time. Birthdays (including my own) have been with almost complete strangers, and yet it seemed to be one of the best, according to all the birthday boys and girls here.
Why I mention birthdays is because, we're used to spending birthdays with family members, close friends and in a familiar environment. And here, in a (still) unfamiliar environment, everyone will do their best to make that special day for another person one of the best days they have had, even though they are not as close as friends back home.
University life means growing up, taking up responsibility, studying hard, having fun with your batch mates, and essentially, preparing you for the big bad world out there, where you are let go from the loose chains that holds you back here.
It's a great chapter that has opened up for me. And I'm glad I made it to medical school.
And now my books are calling out to me.....yearning me to read about the body and its various functions per system. (Physiology, in other words) :)
