When I was younger, I always prepared myself for the days, weeks, and even months to come but as I've gotten older, I find myself struggling to remember what month I'm in. A part of it has to do with being in Australia since the seasons have flopped, but it's mostly due to the fact that I've been so mentally drained that I'm just happy if I make it through the day alive. That came off a little melodramatic but when life consistently throws me lemons, I can only make lemonade for so long...
Only 2 more months and another year of dental school is done. How the hell did I survive this far? It's always fun to reflect in retrospect because I consistently surprise myself... in a good way, this time. It's kinda amazing to have something that seems so impossible at the time, become possible and on days blessed by the Lord, get to kick ass at it too. Maybe I shouldn't jump the gun... I still have 2 months.
I'm trying to live life with an open mind, albeit slowly. I know I have long ways to go but I think I have definitely made progress. I guess the only way to learn is to constantly test myself with others. One day I hope to survive on my own in the wilderness. Maybe that is too ambitious but tonight, I feel like a dreamer.
