a life less ordinary

UPDATE DIGEST: 001

Do you ever get the feeling your at a point in your life......Where you have to make a commitment and turn somewhere?.......Do you ever wonder about the other choices you didn't take?.... Lately my days have all been like that. I'm currently reading, reading,....reading.....and reading again!!! For the US medical Boards. It's an adventure i've been planning with my best friend since years ago. Although it is filled with uncertainty.....part of me, wants to stay also and take up residency. What residency?!? Yup, I'm in between Neurology and Plastic Surgery. Whuh?! Worlds apart!!! Well,.....chill....let me explain. What appeals to me with neurology is that you can help people in their darkest hour. A friend, family, a total stranger....your there treating their stroke victims as best as you could. It's a heroistic ideal of saving lives that i always had. What appeals to me with Plastic Surgery....is the fun part of surgery. It's an art....and i am an artist. It's something that is fun to do and helps change people too. I'm torn actually. In some parts of my life, I kinda mustered what little pride i had to make some really stupid choices. Someone told me if you really like someone you should stick it out. I told her it's not the same if you know its not as mutual as you hoped it would be. That maybe life is as funny as i think it is and will let me pass on this one. I'm thinking of diving lately....taking up the course in the next week.......hide beneath the sea........from the rest of the world. Maybe life would spin, spin, spin....until a new life appears and i wonder off again to see what roads i may take....people i can meet...adventures waiting for me.....
