Hello!

It’s been awhile since I’ve updated my tumblr. In case you’ve been wondering how I’ve been doing, I’ve been doing extremely well. I’ve been keeping myself busy with school and work and I’m at a place in my life where everything seems to be in place—not perfect but sufficient. Stress levels have been quite moderate and I’m glad to say that my relationship with my parents have been better. I have exactly 11 weeks until graduation and I’m looking forward to it. It’s a mixture of emotions: solemn because I know that I didn’t give my best foot forward during my college experience yet ecstatic because I’m venturing out to the real world looking for change and adventure. I’m so close from reaching the finish line and the surge of emotions is beginning to dawn on me. I don’t know if I’ve changed for the better since the day one of my freshman year but I definitely grown wiser in knowledge and managing my stress/emotions. I could tell by the growing number of wrinkles on my face…just kidding. :P

Senior year has been so engaging and I’ve been so engrossed by new ideas and things I’ve learned in my classes. The learning experience this semester have been so mind-blowing. I’m currently enrolled in NO science classes this semester which gives me more time to collect my thoughts together and actually “enjoy” my classes without worrying too much about my grades— and through this journey so far, I can say that I’ve learned so much! Who knew that non-science classes can be so fun and engaging?

So what’s in store for me after graduation?

Hmm, I’m still trying to figure that out. I’m still young and have so much time on my hands yet I don’t want to waste another minute sitting in one spot watching the seasons pass by. I’m applying to medical school this summer for the 2013 entrance and I’ve already made some progress by refining my resume (thank you Linkedin.com!). I’m also going on a mission trip this summer (thanks to my dad’s amazing sources of network), taking the PCAT (pharmacy school), probably working as a pharmacy technician or an ER scribe, and taking classes on the side. Maybe I can fit a vacation to California or Florida if time allows. There’s so many things going for me and to think that I’ve been imprisoned by my emotions and dealings with guys the past year…it’s so absurd. Regardless of what life puts you through, life goes on and it will go on with or without you. And I don’t want to miss the ride of my life or have regrets in the future. It’s amazing how independent I’ve become and how comforting it is to realize how strong of an individual I am. I feel at peace and determined to live life to the best of my abilities.

So as I finish up my senior year, I want to be continually challenged. In order to learn, aspire, and be inspired. In order to become stronger physically, emotionally, and mentally. To push my limits and see how much more I can do with the remainder of my time. To test my perseverance and tolerance for things I am unfamiliar with. To learn to love life and appreciate and accept people despite our differences…the list goes on and on but can be summarized into one simple sentence:

I’m ready to fight and conquer this battle.
