saturday night sighs
i haven't written in a bit, i apologize, and now look-it's december. crazy. basically, i didn't have time between taking an exam, basking in the glory of having just taken said exam, relaxing over thanksgiving break, and falling into the depths of despair ("have you ever been in the depths of despair?") after returning to school. sigh.
medical school is like prison with crappy stuff to do. i guess like hard labor or something ("look down, look down, don't look them in the eye....look down, look down, you'll be here till you die.").
as i've said before, though i don't remember if so on here, i wouldn't wish med school on my worst enemy.
shall i back up a bit?
basically, i had an exam on november 16. ahh, then a gloriously free weekend. we had class on monday thru wednesday, but i was still recovering from the exam to do much work, and anticipating the best food centered holiday (except hanukkah, mmm, latkes...) which meant that unfortunately, i went into the break already behind. whoops. and then, it's not like i could really do work over the weekend, what between baking my apple pies and making mashed potatoes (almost 20 pounds for 20 people, it was just about enough...) and driving up to pete's parent's and congratulating his sister's recent engagement (yay, maggie) and going to the yankee candle factory (i had to breathe through my mouth in the candle store, half a breath and i already had a headache) and walking around the property and climbing a tree and driving back to syracuse.....
see what i mean?
so then the week began, when i finally had the, "oh, duh" moment of "wow, i'm really behind" and the "aw man" moment of "wow, life sucks back at school, home is way better" which combined in the way it tends to do to spark fierce denial.
let's just say i didn't quite catch up this week.
and now it's saturday, and i finally pulled myself together enough to sit down and DO SOME WORK and QUIT THIS STUPID DENIAL CRAP and realize it's ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE if i don't DO WORK RIGHT NOW!!!
sigh.
so i did some work. go me.
