So-Long Semester, I’m Freeeee*
I think I’ll celebrate by going to the gym.
*To do other sorts of work besides study.
Oh wait, what a lie I tell. I’ll be studying all summer.
Joke’s On Me
Sometimes when out I pause and wonder, “Is this a joke? One big exercise in irony? Ahaha.” And then I see that no one else is laughing. Oh.
One More Final,
Then I pack and GTFO of this town.
How am I supposed to focus on Organic Chem II when New York and London are calling??
All the anger is really sadness, molded into a more bearable form.
Steam can vent; grief soaks into your clothes and merges you with the sea.
Suffer Well
“I just hang on,
And suffer well”
Organic II Test tomorrow…
Between 9am today and 8pm tomorrow,
I’ll have at least 18 (additional) hours of studying down for the exam.
Wish me luck!

So hard to tell”
WHO
Curates the sleepytime collection of drowsy music all coffee shops employ?
I buy my caffeine // the tunes put me to sleep.
Perhaps it’s a marketing ploy. Hmmm.
Thank goodness for earphones.
Metal is so much more effective at keeping me awake!

The atrium is filled with sun and dull clatter, an aquarium without water. I’m a fish at the bottom.

I try to keep my clothes sharp and my brain sharper. Never know when I’ll run into smart people requiring sophisticated philosophy and substantial conversation XD
PreMedical Quotas
How refreshing! My Pre-Health adviser was genuinely nice. AND she told me I was smart. Haven’t heard that one for a long time… Sigh. Little words mean so much sometimes.
Also, she made a very good suggestion: go to school full-time this upcoming year. Show med schools that, while I haven’t always been able to afford to do so, I can do it.
When I return from the Netherlands this summer, I’ve got a list of things to accomplish (nothing new, a to-do list…):
1) Work/Save as much as possible, so I won’t have to during the semester.
2) Shadow as much as possible. Try to shadow an internal medicine/GP, and a DO (in case I end up going the DO route)
3) Volunteer as much as possible. Keep on in the ER, possibly, and see if I can’t volunteer in some art-related way. Something to “show what a nice person I am,” as my adviser said. Something interesting and fulfilling, as I said.
I’m feeling better. I’ve come a long way in just this past year, as far as filling my “PreMedical Quotas” goes.
But I’ve got to step my game up, keep up, never regress.
From now on, I’m only playing aces.
