Not Feeling Motivated

Do you ever get that feeling where you tell yourself that you will be doing this and that and then fail to do it? I've been having that thought for a while now and its starting to bother me a lot - yet its so hard to change.

I know that in order to get into medical school, I need to work on a whole bunch of things. I am trying to get my letters of recommendations, personal statements, GPA, coursework, extracurricular activities, and MCAT all prepared. However, I think it seems overwhelming. I guess I just need to learn how to prioritize my things and also have the energy to do it. As of now I think work at the hospital has been tiring me out...so I need to figure out a game plan to get into medical school.

Okay, so I guess that was all the complaining. I am going to outline what I should be doing everyday to get to my goal: medical school.

Everyday...
1) Go workout or do some type of fitness workout
2) Study/Plan or do something at least 2 hours related to medicine
3) Blog about my life
4) Work or find something productive to do

There we have it...i am going to try to keep this stuff up and we shall see within the next couple days if all goes well.... :)

Visitors in Life

Recently, three of my close friends happened to say that they will be leaving San Diego. One of them because she graduated and will be going back to Europe. The other one found out that she got a job in SF. And my one other friend is pretty much leaving me cause he is going on a cruise to South America for his job. I am pretty much sad about this because they are all my close friends and we known each other all of college. I can't even describe what we all experienced from school to personal problems...we've been through it all. That is why I feel really sad to say good bye to them. 

However, these departures got me thinking that people in your life come and go like a visitor. You are the one that will ultimately live your life, but the people that you encounter will shape and help mold you into the person you ultimately would like to become whether it is for good or bad. I would say that so far in my life I am glad to have met everyone. Now you are probably thinking what about family members or partners....I think they can be seen as visitors too because they take part in your journey of life and it just depends on the amount of time you spend with them. I guess what I am trying to do is think of people departing from  my life as positive thing....that they have helped me become a better person (hopefully) and supported me in what I have gone through. It is just difficult for me to let go of my friends due to all the deep connections we've developed over the years. 

Tomorrow is our last good bye before one of them leaves forever...so I am ready to say my goodbyes but not really.

Work Life

I can't believe how much i learned and am still learning about being an employee at the hospital. What I am talking about specifically is the interactions between workers, what you learn on the job, and also just how the system works in general.
