New Year’s resolutions (Part 1)
Last week was the Jewish new year (AKA Rosh Hashona). I usually don’t make any resolutions until January 1st (like everyone I guess). But this year I decided to answer when the opportunity knocked.
So... I started this Blog to document my progress in changing my life. The first step is to confess about my current situation in life and the second will be setting up my goals for this year. I’m actually a bit scared about doing this, but what the heck... It is worth the try.
My life these days: I’m soon to be an intern at a major hospital. I’m actually very excited about that, having that I won my first choice in the internship draft system we have here. Also this is the hospital I want to have my residency right after, so it is basically my opportunity to impress some people in the right places. Which brings us to the scary part... I’m not that great of a student. I’m average at best. I’ve always considered myself to be a pretty good physician but no one ever really told me that. How can I impress people if I’m only average?
I recently got dumped by my boyfriend via SMS. seriously?! This guy have been dating me for a while, calling me his “partner” when talking about me with his friends, f@#$ing me (pardon my french) and then break up with me with a text message. I didn’t even see that coming. So now I’m single again. I don’t like being single. Primarily because I hate the whole dating game: you meet up online, set a date, get ready for hours so you’ll look the best, you meet, the conversation is quite poor cause you don’t know each other and no-one really shows their true nature and personality at the first date. Then he walks you home. If he’s attractive, you kiss. If not, you shake hands telling him you don’t kiss on the first date. And then you wait... well I wait, cause most of my first dates don’t make it to the second one (at least not the ones I want to).
It’s probably related to the third part of my being. I’m overweight. Actually I’ve recently been called OBESE by a computer app. Calling myself overweight is me sugarcoating the situation a bit. I’m currently weighing 92.4 Kg (which about twice as much in Lb.). This is the heaviest I have ever been. I don’t like it. It’s not healthy for me (I have a disk problem in my back) and it sets a poor personal example for my future patients.
These three HUGE things are the ones I want to change most. And going to...
