WANNABE INTERN

Week 2 Message to the Pre-Intern: don’t lose hope! Week 2, for me, was 2 months post-induction. This was when the wait began to sink in. You mean I’ve been home for two whole months? By now, I was literally chewing on my fingernails. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t scared of getting a space, but I certainly wasn’t confident about any place anymore. That is when I began to write this book. Today is the 12th of September and I sit at the dining table in my parents’ house, typing at 11:27pm (because well, I have an editing job to finish up, but mostly because I don’t have to go anywhere tomorrow morning). If I don’t want to, I don’t even have to take a bath tomorrow morning because well, I can stay indoors all day! (I most likely will stay indoors, except for those few minutes when I step out to buy hot akara for my akamu). I am spent. You know, I have applied to a couple of places now.

FRUSTRATED???

Sometimes in doubt...but never gonna give up! Sometimes life in and out of the world of medicine could be downright frustrating. What do you do in such situations? Simply watch life unfold or what? I don’t know. Really. I wish I could tell you: Be strong! But sometimes, motivational speeches should be shoved down the closet- deep down. Cos they won’t work. So I’d tell you: look to the Lord and his strength, seek him even in the midst of your pain and the storms around you, cos the sun will shine again. It will. Cos God promises it will.
