It’s been a splendid Friday, but maybe I feel that way because I’m borderline buzzed/drunk. It’s been pretty relaxing. I had an incredible interview with a radiology program—the most difficult one to get into in the Bay Area. I think my shot at getting in is pretty high, but if i don’t, I wouldn’t take it personally. I can easily look back and tell myself that I truly did my best. It makes me think back to all of the hard work I put in and I’m reminded that it was all so worth it to be in this position. I’m truly excited for the future.
And then I started this thing called Podcast club, I was a little worried it would flop, but it was really nice! I actually really enjoyed it, and I think everyone had a great time. I can’t wait to do more of it.
I’m really grateful for the community that I’ve built around me and the amazing friends that I have. You know when you feel like people come in and out of your life at the right time and with the right reasons? That’s how I feel about my friend Tori. I’m feeling so incredibly grateful to have her in my life. She’s been through a divorce and is also going for radiology and is also from Florida. There are so many similar ways in which we’ve experienced, it’s crazy. But I truly believe that everything happens for a reason. It’s funny to think that I got so annoyed with her when I first met her in my class last year. But that’s just a reminder that you can’t judge a book by its cover.
I’m getting ready for another virtual date with this guy. He’s 8 years older than me. I officially can’t give my ex shit anymore for dating a girl that’s 8 years younger. I’m a little scared because he is so much older, but I’m trying to be really open-minded. Age is just a number right? At least he’s more mature and has more life experience than my ex. We’ll see where this goes. I’m trying to not let my imagination run its course. I’m trying (and struggling) to stay very present, and not have expectations. It’s definitely a lot easier than it used to be, which is progress! I’m getting there. The first step is recognition and effort. So here we are.
My mantra for today is to acknowledge what brings you joy.
This alone has put me in a much more positive mindset. Or maybe that’s the bomb blackberry margarita I made for Podcast club.
