So here's what's been going on with me lately

Hey everyone, long time no lunge. I figured I'd just let everyone know what happened; part of me thinks some lungers might care (yeah right), but mostly just as a precautionary tale. You'll have to forgive me for posting with my former pulsing scok (hehheh).

So after my last exam I got a call to the dean's office where they told me someone had anonymously sent them posts I'd made on here. In the week and a half that followed I had to see a clinical psychologist, had to get all sorts of drug testing done (all negative), including hair snipped off of my head. Last, I had to go in front of a professionalism committee that would ask me questions and render judgment.

So, long story short, I wasn't kicked out of school; however, after I take USMLE step one in July, I'm being forced to take a one year leave of absence before starting clinical rotations. I was devastated for a few days. Having to break the news to my family and friends was equally as bad. But, I was able to take some time and relax, get away from everything, and try to realize that this isn't the worst thing that could have happened.

I was really stupid to have posted all of the personal information and stuff about past drug use on here. I don't know if I was doing it out of pride or just plain foolishness, but it ended up coming back and kicking me square in the balls. I'm not going to get in to why a person would try to intentionally screw up a stranger's life, but suffice it to say: you win- you caused me humiliation, embarrassment beyond words, and an entire year of my life. I hope you're proud of yourself.

I'm studying really hard for the boards, and I'm going to try to blow it out of the water. After that, I'm going to try to keep myself busy. I've got a list of things that I've always wanted to do but never had the time, so I'm going to give some of those things a shot. I've always wanted to learn how to cook, so I thought I might try to get a job as a line cook under one of the rockstar chefs in town. I've also wanted to learn how to sail, so I'm going to try to do that too. I won't be getting the financial aid this year that helps out with the bills, so I'm going to have to get a job at some point as well. I might try to go back to being an ER tech somewhere just to keep myself sharp and my skills honed.

Anyway, I don't think I'll be spending as much time in here as I used to, but I just wanted everyone to know that I'm doing alright and moving on with my life.

Cheers.
