LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL

The German poet and playwright Friedrich von Schiller (1759–1805) declared to the effect that the strongest of all are those who are strong when they stand alone 1 .

Comparatively, it's as if we're sitting alone in a dark tunnel typing, facing our computer screens with the task of bravely putting our thoughts into space.
Standing alone.

This week 9, as we put the finishing touches to our papers, let's show appreciation for professor Vinson and all of our previous teachers, by doing our best theses last two weeks.

There is light at the end of the tunnel and on the other side lies a field of green waiting to welcome us as we continue on our educational journey.

Particularly, thank you to all who participated in the peer review process and for acting as mirrors to one another.

Sometimes, facing ourselves is the most difficult of tasks however, once the reflective work is done growth can continue.

Incidentally, for anyone who's interested, I'll be keeping this blog.
I'll be making weekly entries of my journey toward becoming an MD right here. I'm not sure if I'll keep the phrase "Passe Avaunt," because there's another word I recently discovered that's more in line with what I must posses to get through it all over the next 6 to 7 years.
I'll make a decision in time.

Additionally, I have one other paper due at the end of week 9 for A&P (HS130-01-H).
Next term I'll be taking "diseases of the body" and "statistics."

I look forward to seeing you on the DB this week
and possibly in class next term.
