It begins!

"You've got big dreams? You want to be doctors?

Well, medicine costs. And right here is where you start paying... in sweat"

Ah, showing my age there :) But, surely this is what Lydia Grant would have said to us if she were the Dean of WMS. It's going to be tough. You have to work hard. Some of you will fail. Yikes.

So, many weeks have passeed already, but the fun of being a medic has yet to diminish. At the end of the day, it's been busy (hence the lack of postings) but it still remains the best thing I have ever done. And, while I have been away I seem to have gained another follower, so I will try very, very hard to update this a bit more often.

It's the final countdown!

Ok, so excitement just about reaching boiling point now... it's med school next week!!!

It's been a funny few months. It all seemed so far away, and then I had an attack of the jitters about a month ago. You know the kind of thing... why am I doing this, how am I going to afford it, I'm too old for this, why have I given up a perfectly good job, what if I don't like it, what if nobody likes me... etc etc. Any more of that and I would have talked myself out of it!

Fortunately (otherwise this would have been a very short blog!) I snapped out of it in the end. I am now safely enrolled, I have bought a new pencil case, and I am ready... bring it on!!!
