Those of you who frequent my blog will have noticed a little change. I am no longer a premed!
As of this September, I will officially be a first year medical student, studying in Northern Canada. (If you are Canadian, I'm sure you know where this is, if you aren't, I'm sure you know where google is.) It is very exciting, and relieving to know that 4 years of hard work has finally paid off. That all those days stressing about my future and my grades were worth it.
Something else has also changed. I have finally decided to let go of cycling. Too many concussions, too much risk for crashing and sustaining another concussion. I'm not hanging my bike up forever, but I am boxing away the race gear. I will become a weekend warrior. I love riding a bike, it is probably one of the best feelings in the world, but I want to be a doctor, so now I have to start considering the consequences of injury more than ever before.
I feel like I need to find a new hobby. Right now I am training for this: www.waves4women.blogspot.ca which has effectively been my hobby from the moment I got home from Tanzania. But I need something while in school to help ground me, and that for me was always cycling. But what now?
