Well, not exactly, but I didn't quite know how to title my first post. Lol. See I recently turned 24, and it's such a different number from 23 that it got me thinking about where I am in life and if that corresponds to where a 24 year old (read: young adult) should be. And, well, I guess I am kind of a big baby. Academically speaking/ Career-wise, I'm doing well... right on track, some may even say a wee bit early. I am more than halfway through medical school and so far successful, and if I manage to pass the rest of this year and the next I'll have my MD. Not too shabby, eh? Financially, well, I'm currently living on Uncle Sam's dime with help from my parents (gotta love loans, eh?). In the love department, I am batting a huge zero (minus two "hang-outs" with a cute-ish guy I met online who may or may not be interested... we'll call him MB for future reference, and talks with many others from online that have led to no dates. *sigh*). And as for general independence... I don't know how to drive. I don't even have a permit. And as the youngest of a medium-big family I rely on my siblings and parents a lot, and I often let them tell me what to do. It's a mix between not wanting to disappoint the people who mean the most to me, and just not wanting to fight. Add to that super strict (though loving) parents and I can rarely say no... Pathetic? maybe, but this is the situation in which i currently find myself. And this year, God-willing, I'm trying to find my own, ease my way into respectable adulthood, and hopefully not piss anyone off (...right). And maybe you imaginary readers would like to come along for the ride? ...And if not, then at least it's all immortalized for my own amusement/embarrassment.
Enjoy!
