The last time I posted was a while back, and a lot has happened since then.

I met a wonderful girl.
I graduated from my master's with a 4.0
I was accepted into medical school.
I bought a Rolleiflex 2.8E
I bought a Leica M8.2
I finished my first semester of year one classes at said med school.

Now, I am here, and it is currently 2am. Sitting with nothing but the sound of my tingling radiator.
I am supposed to be up early tomorrow for an early morning study session.

This passed winter, I realized will be the last time I will be free to do what I want. I now have to start preparing for internships, doctor shadowing, and studying for Step 1 exam.

My focus has been leaning towards cancer. I really want to help the terminally ill who suffer from such a threatening disease. I have chosen toward Radiation Oncology. If not that, then surgical oncology. I just think I don't feel prepared as I should, and it's hard to make such drastic life decisions at this time.

And in terms of future endeavors, I was talking with my girlfriend tonight on life as a doctor once I pay off those loans; that I want to only live by normal means, and spend the rest of my income on funding missionaries and printing Bibles. It's a far off plan, but I think it is something I hold pretty close to. I just hope that integrity is still there when I am finished, because it is quite a sacrificing goal.

Anyway, that is mostly what has happened in the past year I have been absent. Check back later for any more updates, and I apologize in advance if they happen to fall few and far between.
