Please remain

cool, calm, and collected

Eight more days..

It's been a succession of slaps on the face--proficiency after proficiency, final after final after final, and there is still more left to do.  Grad school is no joke!
Definitely will become an expert in this field and am finally understanding what it takes to become a doctor.  Didn't realize how hard it is to earn that name...how narrow-minded of me.

Have to work out, wash dishes, do laundry, clean up my room, pack boxes and study some more...

Wedding

the string of sad wedding dreams continue.
this is perhaps my fourth or fifth dream of getting married to someone I don't really love nor know that well in for the past year.
i keep thinking, i cannot reverse this.  too much planning effort too much money too many people, i have to go forward and finish this.  i am quiet, nervously smiling, excited about the future, but sad--uncertain how I can make this work and make myself truly happy.
