It's been great having Kirsty down from Auckland over Easter. Mum and dad flew her down for her birthday and it's been so much fun and relaxing. I think I really needed her down here to make sure I did nothing but watch dvds, shop, sleep -- not do any school-related "work." A welcomed respite for sure. Things have started to get better for me and I'm slowing getting back to the place I need to be, in my head and my heart and in life in general. Slowly getting some Light back into my life and with that some Peace. I had been planning on spending this break studying, properly for the first time, all that is Paeds/O&G, especially after my horrendous week of point-blank cramming (which I have never done before in my life) and subsequent assessment results reflecting that half-arsed job. But, alas, I feel like more than that, what I really need is just to take a breather, a step-back, to re-orientate myself. If I know anything it's that I do not want to be forever immortalised in med school gossip as that one girl who was so unnecessarily hard-core that she took on so much and burnt out after first quarter, disappearing off to the woods to live alone and unshaven for the rest of her life. LoL So besides organizing this mess of a room, I've almost decided nay with the studying. I'll just need to really, really, get my act together for what's left of the year.
P.S. 490 days left till medical elective -- YAY! :)
