I know, I know we talked about it and you are SO RIGHT about everything, but you know I know its all good and right and what I want and yet I just am not satisfied. I guess I just need to cross that bridge without fear of being unsuccessful. I guess I should quit trying too hard to overachieve and just go with the flow. I dont know when I became so OCD about things like these. I always thought I was pretty easy going, which I am generally but just this time around I have been on the edge. You know ma and pa dont make it any easier either when they ask when I am going to move forward with the next steps. Sigh. You know you are totally right about enjoying this time right now before it slips away. I have spent so many months worrying and worrying - I could have just enjoyed so much with so many wonderful things happening on the personal front! I did enjoy reading your comment...talking to you always makes sense, you tell me what I know I should know but I listen to you more than I listen to myself ...make sense? hahaha okay this one's getting as long as the post too. Thanks yaar. Lets hope I get out of this uljhan. I still feel I need to ..okay I shall quit whining. Or atleast try to for now ;) Poonam I can SO see you say that first line “oh dear dear dear” while rolling your eyes! haha.

To make it to the place that you are today you had to be passionate about it. I don't think that you can become a dentist or even try to become a dentist without liking teeth. So what's your passion? Becoming a dentist! If you ask your heart, don't you think that it will say the same thing to you? Do you see yourself doing anything else in this world (becoming a lawyer, doctor, engineer, mechanic, etc..)? I don't think so. Becoming part of the rat race.....you are slowly becoming part of that race and you might not even know it. You have a good job, yes, you will have an even better job once you finish and become a full time dentist, but at this time, you have taken the right steps and that's why you are at a great place in life (yes, i fully believe that you are at a great place in your life as well as your career). At no time do i think that you were left behind in this rat race...and in fact, i know that you will be way ahead of the rest of the other rats your age sooner than you can believe. You are waiting for the rest of the piecing if your own puzzle life. I know that you, you know that, now you just need to believe that all of the pieces will very soon be put into place that will make your life complete. At this time you should be enjoying life, enjoying working, and enjoying being where you are with your family. Enjoy these times because soon your life will change, and you will think back wishing that you could have this time back. So my response is almost as long as your post. :smile: I enjoyed writing it, and I hope you enjoy reading it. :smile: oh dear dear dear.. first all of all, i am here to get the gold. :smile:
