Hurry up and wait

Getting into medical school is like traveling: a lot of hurry-up-and-wait. Now, I'm waiting to hear back about my financial aid package, which should come sometime around the first of June. I will be very relieved once I know that funding for my education is secure. I am also knee-deep in the housing hunt, which despite the conveniences of the internet, is rather difficult to do while living in another city. I'll be flying out to Denver at the end of the month to look at neighborhoods and potential places to live. It's all very exciting! But in spite of my excitement and eagerness to start already, I'm savoring these last few months of freedom before the real grind begins.
