Summer is officially over for me, and I have never been less excited to be back in school. And, to make things even better, I’m sick. I knew it would be hard to get back into study mode, but it is even worse because I feel horrible and just want to sleep. I suppose it’s better to get sick now when I don’t have too much homework rather than in a week or two when things really take off. I would prefer not to get sick at all, but such is life.
I’m a “second year” now, which feels really weird. I have a different classroom. I’m taking different classes. And I feel like I should know more than I do. I just don’t feel prepared for everything that is going to happen this year. For example, I have to take the Boards in less than eleven months! What is that all about?!
After two days of classes, it still feels like I am dreaming. Is this real life? I can’t tell if I’m still in summer mode or it is just the DayQuil talking. Either way, I’m a little out of it. I think I need more sleep…but I need to study…uuugghhh. I wish it could just be summer forever.
I would wonder if being a doctor is a lot like being a teacher – the first year you catch everything that everyone around you has . . . until you build up your immunity, and then your are as tough as nails.
Praying you feel better soon and that you build up all sorts of immunity!
