so much has happened...
I feel like I can't even relate everything in words so I'm posting a lot of pictures instead.
China was amazing, with its long-history and impressive massiveness in every way. I loved so many things there; seeing the Great Wall (even though it was foggy that day), walking through the Forbidden City, viewing the Summer Palace on a boat on the lake, and even the infamous Chinese delicacies such as beetles, silkworms, and scorpions.
I never knew how beautiful Korea was... You can't compare it to anywhere else in the World. It has its unique and tranquil beauty.
We got back to Los Angeles and then we had a big family BBQ, wherein I made my key lime pie with home-made whipped cream. My favorite part was seeing little Jacklyn again, who has gotten so BIG since the last time I saw her. I can't believe that the next time I see her, she'll probably be walking around!!
Then I flew back to Chicago, just in time for some graduation events. First was the boat cruise, which was fabulous. We had beautiful views of the City and perfect weather for a night out. It made me feel glad to be staying on.
Second was the White Sox Game at U.S. Cellular Field. I've been known to hate baseball but it was exciting to see them win the game in the last inning against the Detroit Tigers.
Third was the Senior Skit in which everyone was made fun of and I can seriously say that I laughed my ass off for 3 hours straight!! Thank God I never have to rotate through surgery or OBGYN, or generally be a third-year medical student ever again!!
Fourth was the dinner at the Drake Hotel, where all the graduating seniors honored our favorite teachers from the hospital. It was pretty boring but good food and a chance for some of our families to meet each other!
and finally... the day we were all waiting for! Graduation came. Way too fast. I don't know where these last four years went. All I do know is that I have had a grande old time, even with all the hard work, sleep deprivation, stress and guilty pleasures, ups and downs, saving lives and not saving lives. I am a DOCTOR now, believe it or not and I'm going to work hard to deserve this great honor.
I dropped off my parents and grandmother at the airport early on Sunday morning. I had the chance to have breakfast with my sister at Over Easy Cafe, which was nice. I had the omelette with pesto, sundried tomatoes, and gouda, which was good, but might have been better if the tomatoes were fresh instead of sundried. I'd definitely go back here... if it weren't for the small size and the long waits.
Now... it feels as if things are coming to an end, even though it's really just the beginning. I have three whole days of freedom before I start training and orientation for internship. I don't know where the time has gone... but I hope that at the end of all this, I'll be a good doctor.
