Too Busy, Probably Won’t Write

Well, here we are, at a crossroads that I had hoped to avoid but inevitably find myself standing in front of: the blog post about not posting a blog post.

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind, a relentless cycle of flights, goodbyes, and hello agains. I've witnessed love in its purest form at a wedding, celebrated last days of a friends bachelorhood, and trekked to Ohio for some quality time with my dad. These events, while joyous, have kept my calendar as packed as a suitcase on the return trip from a two-week vacation.

And amidst this frenzy of activity, my secondary applications for medical school came knocking. For those unfamiliar with the process, these applications are more than just filling out forms and ticking boxes. They are essentially a full-time job, a cognitive marathon that stretches your patience, drains your energy, and devours your time. Imagine your life as a thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle, and each application is asking you to assemble it differently and convincingly, and under time pressure. It's like playing Tetris, where every block represents a different aspect of your life, and you're racing against the clock to make them all fit together just right.

As I tackle these applications, I oscillate between moments of self-assurance and self-doubt, but one thing remains constant: they demand the best of me. They insist that I dive deep into introspection, that I ask myself the hard questions, that I reassess my past experiences and future ambitions. It's as intense and grueling as it is transformative.

So yes, this is my blog post for the month. It's shorter than usual and certainly lacks the depth I strive for, but it's the best I can muster amidst the controlled chaos of my current existence. I imagine my faithful zero readers out there will understand. After all, we've all had those months where we're flying by the seat of our pants, barely keeping our heads above water.

That being said, this slim post is not just an excuse, but a symbol of my commitment. Even in the thick of life's demands, I'm determined to uphold the promise I made to myself at the beginning of the year - a new post every month, come hell or high water. So, consider this a raincheck. Expect more soul-searching insights, more verbose verbosity, and more of me in the months to come.

As for now, I'll dive back into the beautiful madness that is my life at present. See you next month. Stay tuned and, as always, keep laughing amidst the chaos.
