2015.

I look around and can’t believe I am smack dab in the year 2015.

I graduate this year. Next week I will fly back to Mexico, return to campus and kick off the last of 10 semesters of medical school. Come June I will (knock on wood) be dancing the night away in a fancy hall for my graduation party. I will look smashing in some amazing, fabulous formal gown, not a hair out of place, expertly applied war paint (read: make up) and I will celebrate. And then, if I am really lucky, in August I will complete the last the last installment of my Masters in psychotherapy and I can celebrate again.

truth is.

It’s the middle of the night. I haven been postponing studying for my first Cardiology midterm since about two days ago. I’m now down to the wire. I leave for class in less than three hours now. Somewhere in one of the corners of my mind I am worried. The message of impending doom however, has yet to hit me wholly.

Coco today.

I read back upon the last post with a bit of disbelief. The story with Alex was left without a conclusion, to be sure. But frankly, I don’t wish to stroll down memory lane. I’m in such a different place right now, I recoil at the thought of falling back in any way shape or form.

I’m currently in the middle of my ninth semester (of ten) of medical school. Incredibly I haven’t really suffered what’s considered to be one of the roughest semesters of the program. I’m different now; I have changed so much so that anytime I take full stock of me, this me, I have to grin in amazement. This a great version of me.

after the party.

The summer is nearly over… And there’s so much to tell!!

I’m currently 3 weeks into the fall semester. Started earlier this month and truth be told, it’s kinda amazing. Even though I’m on call on one day during the weekend, AND despite the mountains of homework the Master’s prof’s are currently piling on. I’m tired, but overall I feel good. At least, in terms of school. My personal life, as per usual, is upside down. 

revelations.

So last Friday I had this earth shattering conversation with a classmate, now dear friend. We´ll call him Eddie. He´s this tiny thin guy who moves about with a nervous energy and has the ability to see everything. Everything.
