Today will be get my shit together day. Yup…
Meredith’s Opening Dialog:
Gratitude. Appreciation. Giving Thanks. No matter what words you use, it all means the same: “happy.” We’re supposed to be happy—grateful—for friends, family; happy to just be alive…whether we like it or not…
Bailey enters the scene & thanks Meredith for coming in on Thanksgiving. Meredith expresses disdain for Thanksgiving to which
Bailey replies: “Not a fan of Thanksgiving?”
Meredith: “There’s not a whole lot to be thankful for…”
Bailey: “I LIKE Thanksgiving…a day people spend with their families. Too much family time triggers depression, repressed childhood rage, bitter disputes over the remote, and way too much alcohol. People get stupid. People get violent. People get hurt…”
Meredith: “and that’s a good thing because…”
Bailey: “Surgeries, Grey; lots & lots of surgeries.”
Meredith: “I never thought of that.”
Bailey: “The stupidity of the human race, Grey—be thankful for that….like I said, the stupidity of the human race.”

Risk is such a funny idea. I always thought of bungee jumping or sky diving as a risk. I didn’t realize how much of a risk I am taking by rescinding my CVS offer. Now I think about it everyday. I know I made the right decision for me. I would always regret not doing a residency. But now I’m terrified of what happens after that. I’m terrified of letting my director down. They didn’t need to take a resident this year - they weren’t expecting too. If they didn’t like any candidates, they weren’t going to offer the position. They liked me enough to offer it - so I have to do well. I can’t be afraid of the responsibility given to me in an unfamiliar environment.
Hearing Colin Powell speak at the Northeastern graduation really hit it home for me. I’m ready to take risks now. It will all work out. Also seen in, Going the Distance — one of the movies with Drew Barrymore and Justin Long. In this job market, its so hard to be close to the person you love (job-wise). But they make it work. They take the risks necessary and end up being close to each other. Well I’m ready. Thank you, Boston - you made me ready… and fed me wayyyy too much.
Bring it.
