Done!

On the weekend I passed my final exam for medical school. It was a 16-station OSCE formatted to resemble the AMC part 2.

All assignments submitted and tuition fees finalised (I owed for library access).

Now I sit as a medical school graduand waiting my diploma in the mail and also waiting the arrival of my second child who is due in 4 weeks!

I am off work on paid maternity leave and long service leave until May 2018. The next few weeks and months I will be concentrating almost solely on being a mum. I have decided to defer my AMC prep until Baby 2 is sleeping a bit more and I have caught my breath after the first few months of infanthood.

I intend on completing my 12-month medical internship next year. Applications are open now.

I have been so overwhelmed with everything over the past few weeks that I haven't properly processed what this journey has meant for me or all the people  who have supported me on the way. I thought I'd do a big Oscars-style thank you speech here and on social media but instead I'm just sitting here a bit numb, a bit relieved, and mostly in the fog that is late pregnancy.
