I'm giving up on trying to make friends in med school. I'm frustrated. At 26, I'm older than most of the other students and I don't have much in common with a lot of them. The few people that I do connect with are married, with children, or commuters, so it's difficult to find time to hang out. The group of ladies that I thought would become good friends, well, we just don't have similar priorities when it comes to friendship. I've decided to focus my efforts on building my non-med school friendships. Its pretty ridiculous that I even try to think strategically about this kind of thing, but being in school allows me so little free time that I have to prioritize how I spend it. I'm super excited that Mad and Lisa are in town and I'll be getting some much needed QT with Bekes soon. I actually went out to dinner with Mad and Lisa last night and it was such a nice feeling to be around people that understand me. I kneed more of that.
