in every generation there is a chosen one. she alone will stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness. she is the slayer.

dear diary, today will be different. It has to be, I will smile and it will be believable. my smile will say “I'm fine thank you, yes I feel much better.” I will no longer be that little girl who lost her parents. I will start fresh, be someone new. it’s the only way I'll make it through.

Each of you comes here today, hopeful wanting in on the game. A month ago you were in med school being taught by doctors. Today you are the doctors. The seven years you spend here as a surgical resident will be the best and worst of your life. You will be pushed to the breaking point. Look around you, say hello to your competition. 8 of you will switch to an easier specialty. 5 of you will crack under the pressure. 2 of you will be asked to leave. This is your starting line. This is your arena. How well you play, that’s up to you.

life’s a bitch until you die.

there is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune but omitted... and the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and miseries. on such a full sea are we now afloat and we must take the current when it serves or lose the ventures before us.
