All in all, 2010 has been one of the most, if not the most, eventful and happy years of my existence. I was on more planes than I want to remember, I had the best times with my best friends, I got to visit both NYC+HK twice, I found the MoMD, and my dream of getting into medical school has come true. I don't know what more I could ask for.

I know that 2011 is going to be challenging and I hope I will be well equipped to handle the difficulties that may come my way. I am excited to start a new chapter in my life and I wish that I will be able to carry all of this love and fortune with me for the rest of my days.

I still have to pinch myself to make sure that I am not dreaming, that I really am going to be a doctor, that I really got to see so many beautiful things this year, that I really have the best friends a girl could ask for, that I really am so happy with R.

When I am more coherent and awake I may try to be more reflective. To me, 2010 has truly been a blessing in each and every way.
