Breaking The Silence

I have returned from almost 6 months of silence. I have been rather busy, and a little apprehensive of the new technology that blogger has taken to using. We know have to set up a Google Account in order to access our blogs. Fortunately, I went ahead and did that so that I can now begin posting again. I'm beginning to wind down my sophomore year of college, and it's a little bit frightening to tell you the truth. I'm not really ready to come to the realization that I'll have to enter the real world sooner than I was thinking. I mean, I sort of like being in this little bubble known as college where the most you have to worry about is when your next exam is or when that 10 page paper is due. I'll be spending part of this summer studying for the MCAT which also scares me because it's a 5 hour long test. I'll also being spending the time that's left volunteering, lifeguarding, and visiting my boyfriend. No worries, I'll enjoy myself. I'm looking forward to a small break from classes, actually. This semester hasn't been that bad other than organic, but I'm really doing the best that I can in that class. It's just a really difficult class.

I'm really excited about poetry. I spent this semester writing 12 poems, and it was so much fun. Sure, there were times when I wasn't motivated or inspired, but even around that, it was a really great time. The people in my class were amazing, and some were absolutely hilarious. I loved going to that class. I'm hoping to be able to do the poetry track for the creative writing minor. If I can complete that, then I will graduate with high honors in poetry writing. That's really exciting to me because I feel so relaxed after writing a poem. I like being able to share my poetry with others. Plus, it shows that I have other interests outside of science all the time. Sure, I love science, but writing is also a big part of my life. I think that medical schools would want to see that I'm interested in many different things. Plus, writing is a big part of medicine, maybe not poetry, but it still shows that I can write and get my ideas across. Next semester is a small break from poetry writing, but I'll be taking a class in children's fiction writing which I am so excited about. perhaps I'll even get to illustrate my own book. That would be so much fun ^_^
