After recently being on the fence about whether or not to actually kick-start a blog, I finally decided to do it. Mostly because my social life is kinda non-existent and I have nothing better to do on a Thursday night. But also because I miss writing. I'm not a phenomenal writer by any stretch of the imagination (in fact, I'm sure you'll find out in short order that I sort of suck), but I always found writing to be both fun and cathartic. For the past 4 years or so, most of my written work (outside of school) was limited to entries in private diaries that only I read. And prior to that, all I really had was some crappy fan fiction kicking around the Internet and a truckload of whiny teenage angst on a LiveJournal, (although to be fair, 80% of LiveJournals are all about whiny teenage angst). I'll try my damnedest not to turn this blog into a repeat of the latter, but I'm not expecting to turn into the next Hemingway overnight.
In terms of what I'll be writing about in this blog...well, that remains to be seen. For those of you who don't know me, I'm a 20-something-year-old medical student living in Canada. After being accepted into medical school a little while back, I secretly aspired to be the next Perri Klass and wanted to somehow chronicle the wacky adventures I would have during the long and arduous journey to getting my MD. So I'd like to think that this blog will contain some of my experiences in medical school (like how I'm bumbling my way through it), as well as intermittent bursts of whatever the hell happens to pop into my mind.
I'm not expecting too many people to read this (or really anyone, for that matter), but if anyone does, feel free to drop a comment about what you think of it. I'm always open to flattery, but I will grudgingly accept constructive criticism as well. Especially if you pad that constructive criticism with flattery.
So...here goes nothing!
