So life is moving faster than I thought it was.
I used to be in awe of university students...it wasn't so long ago that I thought of them as old and wise and perfect. Now, as I'm graduating from an undergraduate degree, I smile because that is so far from the truth. Graduation parties, wine & cheeses, convocations, strawberries and champagne. Am I done with school or going back for more?
I'm wait-listed for McGill medical school, waiting until May 15th for decisions from the medical schools at Queen's and McMaster. I'm accepted into the OT Master's program at Dalhousie University and looking for a summer job as a licensed health care practitioner under the Ordre d'ergotherapeutes du Quebec.
I'm mentoring students who I can identify with because not too long ago...that was me. And I'm on the road to marriage.

Why all these thoughts on the pace of life? I found out yesterday that one of my former patients bought a plot for himself at a cemetery near his home. Morbid? Shocking. However, one of my other former patients baked chocolate, coconut and oatmeal cookies. So maybe life is still ok.
