One year to this day has passed since I left the Student Doctor Network to start One Version of Things. I’ve used this blog to satisfy myself alone, and hopefully it’s provided you at worst a distraction, and a good read at best.
The usual thing to say is “this has been an amazing year,” or “my life has changed so much.” As cliched as it may be, it’s also the simple truth. A lot has happened in the past year; I am not the same person I was on the 8th of April in 2007. I’m not going to bore you with a blow-by-blow of everything as it is all available for you to read up on in the archives. What I will say is that I can get a sense of my story here so far and I realised that I’ve mostly struggled to find my place, but I’ve had a lot of fun doing it.
As usual, things are set to change, both in my real life and in this life.
The entry titles for each post will no longer be song names (this is the last), basically because I can’t be bothered.
And I’m going ‘annonymous.’
By that, I mean that I will slowly phase out all references to my name and the university that I’m currently attending. I’m not completely committed to shrinking into the shadows, and it doesn’t sit well with me. However, I must grow up and realise that there will be information here that is somewhat confidential.
Classes are supposedly kicking up a notch after next week’s break, and we’ll finally begin the ‘real medicine’.
Oh how I’m looking forward to that.
Thank you for reading.

I had a lot change in a year as well. Good and bad, though technically all changes are good.
I hear you on the anonymity thing. I have a couple of blogs online, but I just noticed more and more that if I REALLY want to express myself, I need to be anonymous. I’m never hurtful. But I’ll speak the truth.
I agree, all change is good, but only as long as you’ve learned a thing or two from whatever the situation was before. Sometimes we don’t do that, because, well, we’re idiots sometimes.
That’s it, if you want to express yourself – anonymity is key, because every fucker can stalk you online these days.
That’s not so much an issue for me, it’s just that I will likely be talking about patients and people I work with, and that stuff needs to stay private. If some smart cookie connects those stories to my name and location…
I like that you guys speak (write) the truth, even if I read your blog sometimes and laugh to myself thinking ‘these guys are gonna get flamed for saying that.’ It’s a good read.
Meantime, happy anniversary!
Haha, thanks Alison! Here’s to more years of ranting incoherently!
