F.R.I.E.N.D.S

. . . .

week 4 of 312

im gonna start counting down like this.
hopefully within the blink of both my eyes, i will run thru the 312 weeks very soon.

im missing home. missing my family. missing my friends. missing my dogs and cats.
but wat can i do but grind my teeth and endure and march on.

it's tough actually. i wanna mk some friends whom we will share the 6 yrs of
adventure together but i will really need to look and dig deep for that to happen.
99.99999% of them are more than 10 yrs younger than me.
it's like im attending school w my younger brother, who is even older than them.
itz almost impossible to communicate and exchange thoughts on the same level.
have a bunch whom i hang out with but i feel people from d same age grp relate
better and comfortably with one another.
still hopeful. hopeful to meet some ppl whom we both can communicate and relate
to one another comfortably; to build some solid bonds for the next 6 yrs. all my
frens r in sg so.... it's kinda tiring to go mk frens again when u already have close
ones somewhere else. but i dun wanna live thru these 6 yrs w/o any meaningful
relationships. so hopefully, yea....
if u envision a dream, i guess they will happen in some point in time.

im still learning the basic sciences now. abit boring but im still putting in d effort.
afterall, i learned d sciences on my own so i wld still need to recap n reinforce
my foundations and be confident abt them. and the other stuff like sports, comm
svc etc.. honestly, i wish i can just skip all these and go straight into the clinical yrs
but well, i just gotta respect the prog n go w the flow.

i thot of taking the mcat next yr n apply to dukie. i wld be closer to home, which
is really impt to me. but then again, whatz d probability of getting selected? haha.
the other option is to excel here and apply to a gd place for internship after i grad.

dunno man. well, im starting lab work next week. following a prof's lab, doing
lung cancer research. my major interest is in genetics and deformities. but i guess
i gotta start somewhere so let's see where things lead from there.
they r opening up a new MD/PhD prog.. maybe tatz one way i can go too.

everyone's talking abt joining clubs, societies, community services n all that..
while im focussed on going into research n really seriously starting my med-
scientist career.. not abt all these play anymore. so in that sense, the perspective
and goals r really different.

anywayz, i will just keep on walking on my path and hopefully, along the way,
i will meet one or a few ppl who will be friends for life in our medical paths.
