June 2009 and June 2010

Just a few thoughts of today...

1. June exams are over and passed Pathology.
2. Simon has reached his 300th mark on his blog. And I'm featured in his vlog... *embarrassing*.
3. Today it's Father's Day... It's suppose to be a nice family day today. Thing is, it is turning out to be anything but...
4. But that's not what my blog is going to be about. I just want to record a little something for myself... Though feel free to read through...

Last Friday was an ordinary day for most people. It was definitely an ordinary day for me, except for one thing... My best friend finished her 5th year medicine exams last Wednesday and Friday was the day she was going to discover whether she can be officially called Dr. Scerri. Problem was, results weren't due to come out before 2pm. I'm sure my friend's stomach was churning a lot more acid than usual... I know mine was.

So, I decided to keep myself occupied till the clock struck two. I then ran out of things to do until my sister came up with this big idea of going to Pavi supermarket to buy a BBQ at 1pm. Half an hour later, we were on a bus to Valletta to catch the 2pm bus at the terminus.

Then, whilst trying enjoy the bumpy ride on the 88, I get the phone call... The phone call I've been waiting to get since we become friends in 6th Form. Well... The news she brought was good... Very good indeed. After 2 gruesome years getting the right A level grades and 5 years getting beaten up at medical school... She is now a doctor, alongside a few other lucky ones. The blogger behind That Malignant Grin also surely has something to smile about. And I'm glad they do! I'm sure it was well earned.

Now... As we congratulate the ones that made it through medical school this year... We now wait in joyful hope for that person to be me... Hopefully next June... June 2010! But before that... Only God knows how much I've got to get cracking before I get there. *sigh*
