New Beginnings...

I am still awake at 3am, lying on my bed in a hostel somewhere in Madrid.
I can't sleep... there is too much to think about...

Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of Lent, was celebrated a couple of days ago. I was privileged to attend mass at Madrid's Almudena Cathedral celebrated by the Archbishop, His Eminence Antonio Maria Cardinal Ruoco Varela and his 3 auxillary bishops.

Ash Wednesday also marks the liturgical anniversary of my decision to revive this blog.

I have yet to decide on what I will do for this lent, or where I will be celebrating Holy Week, hopefully some inspiration will appear soon...

My exam results came out yesterday afternoon, and I am contented with my results so far, except for the H1 in Clinical Competencies that continues to elude me...

The results of the dissertation prizes were also announced yesterday, and I must say I was disappointed not to be mentioned...

With that, I have ended the Junior Cycle and come Monday, will enter into the Intermediate Cycle of this Medical Course...

A new beginning, for everyone, a new level playing field to fight, and I have decided that I may just join the race...

I have 2 more days to go before returning to Dublin from a 17 day break, that has brought me to Strasbourg, Mt. St. Odille, Barcelona, Monserrat, Valencia, Santiago de Compostela, Porto and Madrid... It has been a good holiday and I have much to blog about, so look out.

Meanwhile, why is it that I feel sad when I start thinking about what I am meant to do in life. Shouldn't I be happy I know what it is? I have my goals and aims, but maybe it's because they are too far in the future??
