Official!

My leaving for Grenada is getting more and more 'official' every day. SGU has now officially taken their first $1,000 from me. Let's all take a moment to reflect on this historic occasion. I have now started my payments for my medical education. And I will no doubt finish paying in about thirty years! It will be worth it though, the benefits far succeed the cost.
I still need to submit my scholarship application - hey it's worth a try right? - and all the other miscellaneous paperwork. One of which is my white coat order form! My happiness over this no doubt labels me a complete nerd. But hey, when you've made a profession out of applying to medical school, actually getting to do all the little things leading up to matriculating are just that little bit more wonderful.
I would also like to note and send out a sheepish apology to all my poor co-workers here in the lab who, I think, are really tired of hearing me pontificate on the island of grenada and how I'm soon going to be studying on a tropical island etc. Sorry guys!!
Funny story. So, I went shopping for school clothes yesterday (read: a swimsuit) with my sister.

Me: "So, I bet you don't have much business in the winter here?"
Saleslady: "Not really, but for some reason, we're open."
Me: "I'm moving to the Caribbean in January to go to medical school" <--I still inexplicably feel the need to tell this to anyone who will listen
Saleslady: "Really?? That's so cool!"
Me: "Ha ha, yeah, all my friends kind of want to kill me for getting to move to an island to study."
Sister: "Yeah, I'm her sister and _I_ kind of want to kill her."
Saleslady: "Wow, now I kind of want to kill her too."
Me: .... o.o "How sweet, everyone wants to kill me..." *edges away*
