It’s been a while since I have posted. Between getting a solid routine with homework, figuring out my next big step in medicine and registering for my huge load of classes I have this summer, a lot has taken place. With a lot of changes that I am going to make over the next year, I have decided to go ahead and claim my victory regardless of the outcome now haha.
Getting more into learning how to enjoy the sciences is getting a bit more easier. I have found that if I really think about how it is related to my patient and their treatment makes it a bit more interesting in learning about molecules and snails haha.
Now that we are getting more into dissection it is becoming a lot more fun to have a scalpel in my hand while starting at a heart. So much to learn and such complex material. But who wouldn’t want to learn about the heart! 
Health while maintaining my studies and trying to make sure to end this semester with good grades has really put a downer in my health. Just like usual the more stressed I am, the more I eat. I have slowly but surely switched that to more healthy food and making a habit to work out at least 30 minutes a day. Being honest, I haven’t done will as far as a good start to my New Year resolution of getting fit. But it’s never too late to try and get back into the swing of things. On a good note, I have been sticking to working out everyday. Even to the point where I feel there is something off if I don’t work out. So small tiny pat on the back. Replacing my bad foods with healthy food has also been a good thing for me. For the past week, I have always told myself that if I can eat a whole apple and still feel hungry then I can go ahead and eat. That way i am preventing myself from eating for boredom or depression. So far so good.
I still have a lot of work to do. But I’m looking forward to see what I am going to do and the changes that are going to happen in the coming year. I have come to the conclusion that progress is progress. No matter how big or small it is. It is still progress. Everything happens in it’s own time. Saying that I am going to cheer myself own as I go through life. Getting through each day is a big obstacle in itself for all of us. We all deserve to give a bit of credit for each positive thing we achieve each day.
If anyone hasn’t told you today, GOOD JOB! Claim your victory now and don’t stress. Everything has a purpose in your life.
