My ankle is starting to heal so I can finally start to get back into the swing of things, training wise. The sprint final is next weekend so I am hoping to be fully fit by then (at the moment I am pretty much there, just slap some tape on my ankle and I am good to go).
University this week was rather draining. Hospital day was a bit of a fiasco again, though I did learn a lot. I'm just starting to finalise the arrangements for my elective at the end of the year. I want to do it in internal medicine, the excitement of trauma and surgery just isn't for me.
The patients at the hospitals are really awesome. It's really amazing that you get to meet new people every day. Everyone has a story to tell, they just need someone to listen. If you don't hear at least 1000 stories in your life, are you really living? It's one of the reasons that I really like to get out and meet people (not at clubs though). It's in the most remote parts of the world that the greatest stories are hiding.
I suppose that my quote for today kind of follows on from last week. There are times when you simply cannot control the future, it is not in your hands.
"I am lucky. I did not choose this life. It chose me. It's strange like that; not picking my path, but rather easing into the water and letting it carry me where it will. Yes, there will be nights where I feel like my destiny is at my fingertips and there will be nights I wish the lights were off and I could just make these sounds in the dark. Still, I will always be there, wherever there might be, staring into blackness hoping the blackness stares back at me."
