The End of an Era

Growing up I rolled my eyes every time my mother said "Time flies, nothing lasts." Especially during the terrible pubescent/teen years when my emotions took me on wild roller coaster rides daily, I couldn't imagine myself past that phase. Now as I stand at the end, I finally appreciate her words. Time really did fly. It flew so fast it feels like only yesterday I waved goodbye to mama at the airport, or the day I sat in my first ever biology course. It certainly does not feel like 4years. In 14 days I will close the book on a phase of my life, in 14 days I will say goodbye to the place I had finally learned to call home. I will say goodbye to the professors I hated and loved, I will say goodbye to the scantily dressed girls and golden toothed men I never understood (not that I tried that hard). 

Hmm.. Actually I will be doing more than just graduate, I will be saying goodbye to the dreams I dreamt here, to the lessons I learnt. Right here at this desk I realized (albeit a little late) that though that lab coat looks damn good on me, my heart is not that of a doctor. I wont go deeper into that decision yet, as I am still unlocking doors in my mind and unearthing emotions... Emotions and facts that led me to conclude that the title of healer, is not to be mine. At least not in this lifetime...

So how do I feel? I feel a host of emotions. I am terrified, excited, exhausted, proud, emotional... but ready. Something tells me I will discover more emotions over the next two weeks, and you my dear new friend, will be lucky enough to hear (or read) all about it!!!
