It's the second weekend after exams. I'm in my room. It's DRIVING ME CRAZY!! The weekend postmidterm exams we (a few fellow classmates and myself) went away - like 95% of the class did. It seemed necessary to leave the place where all the anxiety and learning took place. So this weekend I should be able to study, right? I mean, I had an entire weekend off and there are no exams this week... and studying is something we med students do constantly, right?
To make matters worse, I've had a cold this last week and spent most of Friday afternoon and yesterday (Saturday) sleeping. Bouts of studying and watching the Bones series interrupted the sleep. Now I'm feeling less sniffy and groggy, but I REALLY cannot stare at my Histology notes no more! What's worse is that I know that the next two weekends will be pretty busy with a Medsin conference and then a 5-day Easter break (the ONLY holiday we get this entire semester!) with family South of London. That translates into "you better work your butt off this weekend"! Yet, here I sit, blogging... "Eish" is the most appropriate word that comes to mind here.
"Normal" people use their weekends to catch up on essentials - sleep, movies, sun, friends, grocery shopping... I can think of a million examples of what one could do on a weekend. "Normal" people use this time to do something different to what they do during the week. That is, they DON'T work! Ok, I'll admit that that's not the case with everyone, but the majority, right? For example, my dad will spend most of Sunday reading the newspaper and napping. Oh, and how can I forget, fishing! My mom will make quick meals. Oh, and read the newspaper. My sister will watch movies and watch movies, and watch movies, and watch series... She might also visit the neighbour. While during the week they are one the farm, cooking and cleaning and driving my sister around, and at school. BIG difference!!! I want some form of normality - PLEASE!!!
Now that I've expressed my madness a bit, here's hoping that maybe I can return to those lovely Histology slides...
