Change,
finding my way
I've updated my book bucket list.. Kinda. I finally figured out that I could do more with Goodreads than just read reviews. I got this little widget that let's you know what I'm currently reading, what I'd like to read and what I have read. And of course you can add me if you want. :)
See "my bookshelf" on the right.
It's looking like i just might not complete my Nora Roberts Challenge this year after all because as much as I love romance books I just have to mix it up or else I get bored. I have about 50 books to go and less than three months left til the end of the year. I've already begun thinking about my "best things of 2014". Seems like every year i feel more blessed than the year before.. :)
Sometime last year I revisited a decision. It was three months after my graduation and I was left with an empty vacuum and the dreaded "what next?". So I decided to apply to med school and I did. Remember I applied to just one? What were the chances that I'd get accepted? The odds had to have been stacked against me. But somehow I got accepted. At this point I had been working (NYSC) for about 7 months. And classroom theories had become practical and well, more real. My tutor was right, I really did need a year off to think. Experience helped me realize that this wasn't the next step for me.
Don't misunderstand me, I don't suddenly have it all figured out. I'm still feeling my way just like the next person but this work year has given me an opportunity to look through another pair of eyes.. And though I still don't know what exactly it is that I want to do, I have struck a few things off that list. And med school is one of those things. Maybe I'll get a Master's and then a Doctorate before my 30th birthday. (I didn't say anything about being less ambitious after all! Hehehe!).
Let's just see where the wind blows.. :)
