So what happens after the acceptance?

I figured I would start a new blog to chronicle my life after I was accepted to medical school. For so incredibly long, everything revolved around getting that acceptance. Now that I have it, what happens next?

Well, first things first, I have to get through Calc. I really really dislike math, and I have a very very hard time with it, which really doesn't make much sense since I ended up doing very well in other hard classes like Ochem 2 and Biochem. Oh well, can't make much sense of things like that, I suppose.

I am usually so incredibly demanding of myself - making sure I have nothing but A's in everything, but this semester, I am really trying to do the best I can still, but I am making more time for some friends of mine in crisis, as well as family that has experienced crisis as well as joy. I think this has been really good for me, as I will be looking for a bit of a balance in the future, and it is high time I figure out how to get great grades and still be there for my friends/family in tragic events. Suffice to say - there has been a bunch of car rides with studying going on! (Is that really a balance?) Who knows!

Macon next year...Wow. I'm overwhelmed just thinking about it. Micah is going to keep his job, as he loves it so incredibly much, and we really do need that money coming in. Not only that, we're uncertain how good it would look for him to leave his job after only being there for such a short time - so we will be facing what many couples in our predicament face - married and in love, but living separately for work/school except for the weekends. At least for now.


I know we will do it well, but I am going to be lonely during the week without him. Although we don't have much time right now, just having him poke his head into the room where I'm studying to say hi...I am forever grateful he loves his job so much, though, and it is good for us to have that money coming in right now.

I guess this is the beginning of everything else for us. This is what happens afterwards...
