What do I do with all this free time??

So the dreadful Step 1 is over. Well it was over on Thursday. I spent this amazing past weekend enjoying the city with great food and company. Today is sunny. And for the first time since a long time ago I am standing in the sunshine soaking it all in, letting the warm feeling flow through me. I can't stop smiling. Work hard and play hard. It is pure, beautiful magic.

Thanks to all the friends, family, and fellow medical students who sent me words of encouragement when I was feeling scared, anxious, nervous. With your support I made it over another obstacle, even though it is only one of the many to come. But you know, I am not scared. I know I have it in me. And I know you have it in you. Also we have one another. What is there to be scared of? Strength is a form of energy and it definitely transforms depending on the temperature of the situation. But it will always be strength.

I am still a bit antsy, knowing that my score is still yet to come out. But I am not going to hold back and prevent myself from enjoying my much-deserved free time! Yes, I am a med student and I put myself through what may seem like unreasonable torture. But the reason behind my behaviour comes through once in a while. It is the ultimate release that keeps me pushing my limits. And I love it.

No regrets.
