New Adventure, New E-Mail, Same Blog

Hello long lost and weary friends!

I was laying in my bed last night, wondering if my blog still existed last night, and to my amazement, it does!  So I thought I would update it!  I first navigated the wonderful world of technology and found out a way to change my e-mail from my K-State to Gmail account (YAY ME!) and then realized I don't have much to say for myself except...

Sorry.

My lack of blogging has been shameful.  Absolutely shameful.  But in the interest of full disclosure, I have to tell you that fear stopped my blogging.  Pure, unadulterated fear.  Not getting into medical school was the worst nightmare I could ever imagine.  The embarrassment and setback was more than I thought I could handle.

I am such a wimp.

As most suspected, I did get into one of the four schools I applied for.  My favorite rejection e-mail I received from the bunch was, "There were many more qualified applicants than you."  Just kidding!  It said, "There were many more qualified applicants than spots available."  But who reads the first part and expects it to end well?

Anyway, I am in my last week of the Foundations of Medicine module here at KUMC.  It has been a lot of cell biology and biochemistry.  Neither of which was my favorite class at K-State, but my undergraduate experience gave me a great background in both fields.  I am extremely excited to study the next unit, Genetics and Neoplasia (which is tumor growth, benign or malignant)!  I am ready for a change of pace, and something I enjoy.

We'll see if we can keep up better this time.
I'm in the middle of 50 Shades of Grey, so perhaps my next blog will be more exciting!

Until next time (not a year this time...)
