I've been productively using every single hour for the last 3 days straight. I need a little procrastination break, aka blogging break.
I can't exactly say I've survived the past three days quite yet, I'm still about 1/4 of the way through packing and I'm leaving as early as I can tomorrow. I also still have a lot of things to finish once I get there....but basically I'm going to try to focus on all the awesome stuff, because there was a lot of it these past few days/hours as well.
My hair appointment was much shorter than usual, 2 and a half hours instead of about 4 which was a nice surprise. It gave me the opportunity to work a little more on my Fulbright Grant Statement before meeting with everyone at Sunflower. I was so happy to see people one last time before leaving, it was bitter sweet to sit in Vienna eating my favorite icecream, but I was just so happy that I had the opportunity to spend so much time with everyone this summer. It will make up for all the time I won't get to see people in the spring, haha. It was also fun talking about the wedding and seeing how excited everyone seemed to be about it. I'm really looking forward to having everyone visit Blacksburg and spending a weekend with the Corner in my college environment. Even though I left in a great mood, I slowly became overwhelmed thinking about everything I have to do by the end of the week, and just developed a really poor mood. I was worried that I was just going to struggle through today and not end up accomplishing anything.
Yet when I woke up this morning, I woke up half an hour before my alarm clock, in an optimistic and determined mood to finish everything. I went to Starbucks early to get coffee into my system and write a thank you note for the doctor I've been shadowing. Today was my last day and by the time I reached the office I was just so excited to see everyone one last time. The doctor I worked with seemed to also be in a really great mood and spent the entire time sharing so much of his knowledge about the cases and life as a physician that I ended up skipping my fitness class just so I could take in all the last bits of wisdom before I left. He even told me that I would always be welcome back to continue shadowing in the future, which was just so wonderful to hear. I loved coming to that office, even if I had to be there by 7 am.
Just as I told him that I would keep him updated on my progress with the applications and left the office, I saw that I had gotten an email from GW telling me that I was invited for an interview!!!!!! My first medical school interview!!!! That great news reinvigorated me and I immediately went back to Starbucks after lunch, determined to accomplish all my application goals for today. I was there for about 5 hours straight and then went home for another 3 hours to work but I did a lot! Not only did I finish and submit my Fulbright application, I also wrote a draft for the Rhodes application (due on Friday) and answered a few of the short answer questions for Marshall. Hopefully I will have the energy to complete them tomorrow night after I get back to Tech, although I might have to lock myself in my dorm room and pretend I hadn't come back yet. My biggest hope is that I finish it all before the hike on Friday morning to the Cascades with Hillcrest.
Then hanging out with friends! And finishing my last 4 med school apps over the weekend, and moving in the rest of my things Saturday, and doing my Italian homework due on monday, hahaha.
Gosh, what a life.
So.....like I said, I still have about 3/4ths of my things to pack, so I'm gona go do that XD
edit:
Huh, look at that. It's 4 in the morning and I'm all mostly packed. Weird.
I have no idea how tomorrow is going to go. I at least hope to get back safely and not too miserably tired.
