on writing

You know what is sort of funny? I've had two blogs so far--both xangas--and countless diaries. While I've never been able to keep up with two at once, I've realized that each blog very clearly denotes a separate part of my life. Maybe that's why my writing always has 3 month gaps where the writing slowly tapers off, only to resurface in another medium another month later :P

Now, another chapter has already been started, and displaced entries signal the need for a new venue. Is it time? And what about me? While I am still on the journey to figuring out my place in this world, I have definitely seen a shift in my behaviors and values. Medical school is definitely a bubble, but meeting older classmates, seasoned doctors and admirable patients in the city of Philadelphia has challenged my perspectives notably. Honestly, it was a bit overwhelming to adjust to so many changes all at once. Nostalgia still hits me from time to time, especially around testing weeks. But first year has given me a lot of firsts too--not the least, my first participation in an endurance event. I know I definitely still have a LONG ways to grow to become the person I want to be. A large part of that is organizing just WHO I want to be. There are a lot of faults that still need a-fixing (or at least, SOME fixing). And I have a feeling the next wave of entries will be HEAVILY medical based (both in cases and articles). But hey, I warned you, didn't I? :)
