Good things come to those who…what??

I love, love, LOVE Michael Buble, and just downloaded his song “Haven’t Met You Yet.”  Basically, the song is about how wonderful love can be with the right person…once you find them.  Since, as you may have noticed, I like to apply little mini-experiences to life as a whole, I got to thinking about all the things in life that we wait for — the things that will be absolutely amazing once they happen, but when they happen isn’t entirely up to us.

The med school application process is, obviously, on my mind a lot.  My applications have been sent off, my transcripts have been received…and now all I can do is wait.  There is nothing I can do to accelerate the process, or determine which schools will accept me.  I have done everything  I can do up to this point.  And it’s a little frustrating, because everything is completely out of my hands, and I can’t do anything about it!

Ok, so that’s not exactly true; I can choose to wait patiently.  As I used to say about my MCAT scores, the outcome is the outcome, and it happens when it happens, whether I stress about it or not.  So I will save myself the stomach ulcers, thank you very much, and wait it out stress-free.  (Yeah, right.  But I will try :-) )
