Thoughts
What a whirlwind this week was. Starting the week with three big final medical school exams (which I'd been preparing for for so long), to getting my results just under 24 hours after finishing my last one... and receiving the news that was simply music to my ears.

I am a doctor.

I wonder how many times I have to say it to myself for it to really sink in. It's incredible. I am so happy that all the work that I've put in these last five years has brought me to where I am today. I think back to every little experience, every patient, every doctor, every inspirational colleague and every book that taught me everything I know right now and am so very thankful. I think back to this time five years ago when I barely even knew what lay beneath the surface of our skin; the complexity of the human body and all that can happen to it. And all the ways to be able to figure out what's going on and help someone overcome said issues.

It's certainly not been easy, to the point that this year I had to even abandon photography for the most part in order to ensure I was really putting my mind to my work. No matter how much you study, or how many patients you see, you can never say it's enough. That means work life balance is essentially non-existent. I hope this won't have to happen again though because I terribly miss everything photography! I hope to invest in a new computer soon that will allow me to edit pictures much faster, with a more colour accurate monitor, and hence allow me to keep creating. Art will always be a part of me as much as medicine is.

This is simply the closing of one chapter and the beginning of a whole different one. One where I become really independent, moving out of this little rock which I've called home for my whole life, to the country of my dreams (Scotland <3) and really pursuing the life and career I've only so far dreamt of. One where I can really start to make a difference and make as much of a positive impact on others' lives as possible, and to forever continue learning and developing myself. I am very much looking forward to what the rest of this year holds.
