I wonder how many times I have to say this, time flied by so fast. I came to sudden conclusion today while pondering the reasons behind this life of mine that I must do something, something that will help shape this world, something to shape the world for the better. I have also realized that since there is always an uncertainty as to what my life span is, I must grasp the day to work towards my goals gradually.

The reason behind my sudden epiphany probably is the fact that I have been lying around lazily for the past few days. Although I wished to find the motivation to work on my Calculus revision, I was delayed by the constant thought of simply relaxing this summer and let myself loose. I almost did succumb to sloth, but I thought about my goals for the future and deemed a summer of relaxation was not an option for me.

What are my goals? Now that I will be heading to McGill in September for Science, I must first plan my courses to include prerequisites for Immunology Major, prerequisites for UBC Medical School, prerequisites for McGill Medical School, and also prerequisites for UT Medical School plus McMaster Medical School. Other than that, I also must find methods of contacting places of interest that I wish to volunteer for next year in Montreal. Some of these places include Canadian Blood Service (Societe du Sang Canadienne) clinics, local food bank, McGill University Health Centre, and other miscellaneous organizations such as senior homes.

Now that the goal of going to McGill has been fulfilled, I will work on my next goal of Medical School Admission.

This is the 60th post of this blog. Looking at all the events that had happened to me since the Graduation Ceremony makes me really emotional.

Perhaps one of the few things that really changed how I viewed this world was the sudden shock dealt to me by my fellow graduating class. This particular shock I will dub the “OMG I”M GRADUATING ??!?!” syndrome. I still find it hard to believe that I’m actually moving on from high school to a new place. 新しい場所.  (Attarashi basho)
