Welcome to Internship

It’s been ages since I last blogged – approximately 2 years, I think. Maybe it’s because of the toxic years (?) of med school, or maybe I just got lazy, or maybe it’s because of Facebook. Oh yes, I think it’s mainly due to the latter. Today is April 30, 2010 – payday to some of you, pretty much an ordinary day to some, but for an incoming UP-PGH Intern like me, it marks the last day of freedom. Tomorrow I will embark on a journey that is called Internship that will take place for exactly one year. To be honest, I feel scared, nervous and inadequate. I’m not sure if I am equipped to face internship… but I have no choice, this is it, there’s no turning back. I am a bit down the past few days, mainly because I didn’t get in the straight internship program in Internal Medicine. It seemed like a fatal blow but thinking that God has other plans and that everything happens for a reason console me. I know that I just have to shrug this negative feeling off of me and I need to do it soon (in like yeah, less than 24 hours). I guess this event coupled with the idea of my internship starting in the Pediatric wards led me to feel melancholy. Oh well, I know this too shall pass.
