april 15th 2009 was the day i made the decision that would affect the rest of my life.
sounds pretty dramatic, but its true.
the choice of grad school will definitely determine how the next 5 years of my life, and even the years after that, will be like.

and even now, i wonder if i made the right choice.
'they are both awesome schools, you can't go wrong either way'- was what a lot of people told me. true, but not entirely helpful.

this feels so different from when i got that rejection letter from nus med sch. then i knew what God wanted from me. it was difficult for my pride, but the direction was clear. i went, knowing that what God had planned for me was best.

this time, God opened 5 doors, which one do i choose?
after a logical, emotional, prayerful, extensive analysis, i chose.
i know, in my head, that i made the right choice.
but my pride is reprimanding me.
perhaps God is teaching me humility.
and that trusting in Him means surrendering everything. to stop thinking of all the 'what ifs' or 'if onlys', and know that if He has led me to choose this school then He has prepared a lab there for me.
reminder- romans 8:28, jeremiah 29:11.
