10 More Days

My room has been quite a mess since I started packing, but the excitement is thick in the air. April seemed to have slipped by so fast that no one really saw its footsteps. And here I am with 10 more days in Vancouver with my dearest friends, family, and my baby Miho. Suddenly I feel that the gloomy rainy days here in the big city is no longer a bother!

Not too long ago I had dinner with some of the most amazing friends who have crossed my path somewhere along the journey when I least expected it. And at that moment I was reminded of how important these people are to me and me to them. I have always been an advocate of letting life take its own course - do not force anything to happen, including friendships. And throughout these 24 years life has brought me a group of wonderful friends with beautiful hearts. I am thankful.

So, onto the preparation for the trip - I finally got my stethoscope! Out of all the colours I could choose from, I had a bit of struggle between the bright orange and raspberry. But because my scrubs were in a shade of dark crimson, I eventually decided to go with the raspberry colour shown in the picture! And I think it was a good choice :) So far I have listened to the hearts of some of my co-workers, friends, my parents, and my kitty Miho! Hahaha oh the joy I felt! Miho's heart was beating so rapidly and I'd like to think that was because he was excited to see me... let's just ignore the scientific explanations behind it for once.

A friend of mine attending Ross will be returning to Vancouver for her break on Apr 22. I can't wait to see her and get all excited together. Her and I have been classmates since high school. It is kind of amazing if you ask me!

A couple of days ago I received a package from Ross University - 2 luggage tags for me to record my name and address. I know that may not sound so exciting for you but it was for me! Seeing those tags was better than seeing a birthday cake! It finally felt like I was really leaving! I don't remember the last time I got this excited and silly about something. Oh well, might as well enjoy it while it lasts! ;)

Ok, I'd better get off my butt and clean my room up a bit before my mom comes home and sees this mess!
