No Doubt
It's been a day like so many others: waiting for the mail, being disappointed by the mail.
This morning I went to buy a coffee at a neighborhood restaurant. I knew the girl working at the register and when she asked what I was up to I said "Waiting for medical school to start." It felt pretty good to say that, and it made everything feel more decided and settled in my mind.
She asked where I was going, and I said Philadelphia. Her eyes lit up and she did a little bounce clap and said "That's so exciting! I love Philadelphia!" Which was nice to hear.
I should be more thankful that I'm getting to go to medical school, and less anxious about the whole NY vs. Philly thing. I should be thankful that I've never, not once in the three years since I made this decision to go back to school, regretted my choice. I'm getting the chance to do something really great with my life, and it's something I feel I'm ready for.
I'd still like to get another acceptance, though.
