19 Days..

until my last final exam here at SGU in Grenada.

Totally surreal to think about all that has gone on here and how many changes lie ahead.  I am a huge mix of feelings: extremely excited about being back in the states and getting to be with patients in only a few months, nervous about studying and doing well on the boards, sad to leave some really wonderful friends and people who I have connected with in ways that are completely unique, inexplicable and intense due to this common insanity we have experienced together...and unsettled to think about restarting and readjusting once again.  However, I also know that I am ready to stop being a student 24/7.  The shift from studying incessantly to serving others in a more tangible way will be infinitely more fulfilling, of that I am certain.

Time has both flown and crawled, as I've said before.  I don't even think I will really 'get it' for awhile...three weeks. Wow.
