Reason to Celebrate

Results have come out on Friday at noon... When I was still out shopping for a Father's Day present in Tigne; only to be told by my best friend on arriving at chaplaincy, "Mar, results have been out for, like, three quarters of an hour!"

Yes... And I passed my exams! I'm finally a doctor. (A real doctor, you know, not a lawyer :P) I want to say sorry for breaking the news so late on my blog, but these days I've been feeling like I was living on space cake and hash cookies.

I just want to say thanks to all those people who supported me throughout this journey as a medical student. A special thank you goes to all those who helped me in my studies, bore with my neurosis and soaked me in prayer. Honestly, I couldn't have done this without you. It's true that I've worked hard and that I've studied lots. But, at the end of the day...

There is no such thing as a 'self-made' man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success.

So... to all those who helped in any way... Thank you! :)

In the meantime, watch this space for more of my misadventures. They'll probably start in two weeks' time.
