Today sucked. No way around it. For those of you who don’t know me well, I absolutely hate to cry and rarely ever do–especially in front of people. Well, I cried today. At school. I definitely got all red and splotchy. Tomorrow will be a better day.
Thursdays are my longest day. Start seeing patients at 8:30 a.m. and get out of class at 9:15 p.m. Today has felt especially long. And it’s only 6:55 p.m. (and yes I’m posting during class). But good news on my midterms: 2 A’s so far. 
Last week was my Spring Break. I know my friends (who are real adults and have jobs) get jealous that I still have a Spring Break but they have full-time jobs without homework and they get to choose their vacation days, not have vacation dictated to them. The grass is always greener…
Anyway, I went home and hung out with my parents for the week. It was good; I like my parents. I came back on Friday, went to a college friend’s wedding on Saturday and at the last minute got invited to see Cirque du Soleil. Pretty amazing week. Now it’s back to the grind for me. Yet I’m having a hard time getting back in the groove–apparently one week of doing nothing related to school has increased my procrastination skills and decreased my getting stuff done skills.
I had a take-home midterm that I finished (and started) yesterday and I’m currently working on a very boring article review. I still have another research article to read before class tomorrow and have to work on this crazy poster project at some point in my life. Our internet is screwy again so that’s not a fun thing to deal with when I legitimately need the internet for school work (turning in assignments via email and looking up articles on PubMed and the like). But what did I agree to on Sunday afternoon? Oh right, to go out to a movie on a Wednesday night! I must be crazy. I temporarily forgot why I don’t do stuff during the school week because oh that’s right I have school stuff I’m supposed to be doing! It’ll be fun though–if I can put away my stress for long enough to allow the fun to enter in. The end of April is when the semester is over and I’m tricking myself into thinking that school life will get exponentially better after that. I’ll let you know how that works out.
Back to the article review.
