When you don't get your way

Sometimes I feel like selfish because I get angry and disappointed about the smallest things. But what I don't realize is that there are people out there who are dying of hunger and disease and I'm here complaining about little things wrong with my life.

I admit, I haven't exactly had things handed to me on a silver platter. Everything I have, I've had to work so hard for. Nothing just comes because of good luck. I don't even believe in luck anymore because if luck determined success, I would be screwed.  Just once, seriously 1 time, I would like to have things happen the way I WANT it to happen. Can this actually happen?

Beginning

With the start of the new year, I thought I'd try something different. I've always tried to record my thoughts through a diary but have never been able to keep at it. Seeing that I can type so much faster than I can write, I figured this blog was a good idea.

Tomorrow morning at 7:20 AM is my flight back to Cleveland. I get there early in the afternoon, 2:45PM. I still have hesitations about flying, but I think I will have to get over that soon, considering flying is literally the only way I can get back home.

This year is going to be one of the most important years of my life. I will be taking the MCATs in early May, and it will determine the rest of my life. It's frightening to think about but by May, I vow to be ready for this. Currently, however, I feel unprepared and overwhelmed by the amount of information that I need to know. Nonetheless, it is not an impossible task, and I always look forward to a new challenge!

Well, I have to get studying and packing. Will post more when I get to Cleveland.
