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.

I was thinking about the last six months. A half year! And so much has changed. Even more if you consider the last 12 months. It still amazes me. Life is moving fast. Maybe too fast. Part of me likes it and another part wants it slow down.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this blog. Not just this one entry, but the entries of the last 12 months. They've been really meaningful to me. I'm excited to see what future entries will look like, what stories and photos they'll contain, and the new things we'll learn and the wisdom we'll gain.
Have a pleasant and restful Sunday afternoon. :)
i hear ya.
