Thanks to all the friends who expressed concerns about me lately - well, I am alright :) It is just cabin fever and a huge burn-out I think. The end of the semester is near and I can do this. I just need to push myself for the last little bit.
It's been crazy here with the weather. The rain is so unpredictable - it can just drop on you even with the hot sun sizzling above your head. I don't have an umbrella because mine broke a month ago. I figured I will just leave it like that - most of the time I am indoors anyway. Didn't want to buy another umbrella here - one less thing to pack. So far I only got rained on once (half-soaked).
Pathology lectures and Pharm lectures are getting really intense. All the renal lectures, skin lectures, musculoskeletal and neuro lectures came one after another. High yield high yield high yield - everyone's brain is burning up. Repetition is key - but it's gotta be smart repetition. It is difficult to keep up with the lectures some days but I make sure I am not far behind.
I chatted with someone in first semester today - and I felt so jaded haha, He was still excited about everything here even though he was also tired of studying. I am just looking forward to having this term over with and having a good night's sleep. It is hard to buffer all this stress - a friend of mine had diarrhea for an entire week (not cuz of food this time - we ruled that out) not too long ago. My body mostly responds to stress by not letting me sleep well at night, like last night - I kept waking up every couple of hours.
:) But don't give up (wherever you are, whatever you do) - it hurts now and this may blur the outline of your goal. Just keep on moving and you'll see everything clear up again (if not, get new glasses with better correction).
ps. The title is a quote from the FAMILY GUY!! (it maintains my psychological well-being in time of stress)
