Final Countdown

It's May and that means finals are almost here. It's overwhelming to think that I'll tested on so much information in so little time and also to imagine myself sitting in a plane on my way back to Vermont after spending four months here in Grenada. I've already done the math and there's no way I can fail any of my courses. I knew I could do it, deep down I knew I could, but now that the semester is winding down, I have this odd feeling and I'm not really sure how to describe it.

It's almost as if what once seemed impossible -- getting into medical school and surviving -- is now possible.

So, what's next? Well, a lot actually. I still have another year and a half in Grenada and two more years of rotations somewhere in the States. If I've learned anything while I've been down here, it's that I will never stop learning. Medicine is always changing, techniques are always advancing, and people always want more. I've had a wonderful experience at SGU so far and I'm so happy with my decision to come to Grenada.

I recently found this video on YouTube. It's funny and representative of about 99% of the stuff I've learned this term.

Okay, time to get back to the books!
