First entry in 2008!
This is long overdue according to one of the few faithful readers. However, I feel as though I don’t have much to report on.
Perhaps this is a good thing. Perhaps it means I am not suffering from frequent emotional tantrums and other sorts of disequilibrium that would justify literary venting.
Perhaps it also means that nothing is really going on in my life.
I guess all of the above is true.
I’ll be in school for the next 1.5 years. Life planning is taking a backseat while I focus on the present: coursework and thesis.
To my pleasant surprise, I like my current program much more than I anticipated. I appreciate the resourceful faculty and staff. I take full advantage of the office space and free printing. Coursework can be a bitch, but the material is interesting, highly relevant and maintains my motivation. Colleagues are friendly. My thesis supervisor is a robot, but a kind one.
A few things won’t change though. I am still falling behind. Partly because I have become an even better procrastinator! Sometimes my heart race and my brows furrow when the topic of medschool application comes up. I’m still healing from the rat race of undergrad. I still have the attention span of a grasshopper. Someday I’ll improve it to the equivalent of a cat.
