My Birthday and a New Start

I turned 27 today.

I guess I'm officially in my late 20s now. A decade back, 17 year old me would not have pictured myself living the life I am. I'd probably imagine myself a failure. And to be honest, sometimes current Me falls into this trap of believing it. But now that I am older, I also have the wisdom to forgive myself, and the experiences I've had since college I believe have made me into a kinder, better person.

This will be a blog dedicated to my efforts as a non-traditional student, making the transition from the pharmacy (and currently, technical writing) world to achieve my goal of acceptance into medical school.

I'm a bit apprehensive; I'm charting out my plans for the next year, and I'm worried about how I will juggle my full time job with courses, and I am hoping to use this blog to keep myself accountable. And I hope that some day this blog will chronicle my travails as a medical student, and eventually, as a practicing physician.

I eagerly await the challenges that lie ahead.
