I have not been sleeping well.  My whole right sided chronic pains have been acting up this past week as well.  I've also been having quite a voracious appetite lately.  I am constantly hungry and thirsty and my bowels are overactive (TMI?).  I'm told that depression within the next three months will be normal too.

I have become inspired to continue writing more prolifically as I used to do before.  Writing has been an oxymoronic soothing and invigorating source of fuel for my ever increasing curious appetite to analyze the unknown and undetermined.  While my reasons for writing and the content I choose to write about have changed ever so often, I realize ( Read more... )

I still can't get over what happened this past weekend.  It was an amazing learning experience.  No, it was quite more than just a learning experience.  It was a life changing experience.  I feel like I was finally able to push beyond my limits and boundaries and actually DO something rather than just contemplate about it.   I feel as though I'm ( Read more... )

 I've been going through an interesting change in my life.  I've been spending more time on Twitter, Blip.FM, Youtube, Gmail, and other social networking sites despite having resolved to quit Facebook.  I realize now that I should have more clear with my resolution and broaden it to include all social networking websites in general.   It's been a ( Read more... )

 Tonght, I danced with an amazing beautiful girl...and then I found out that she was taken.  Ahhh!  Darn it!   That sucks.  :-(

It was a fun night though.  I'm glad I finally got out.  Been going crazy doing nothin but study all day.  Alas, that's what the rest of the weekend will be dedicated to.  Such is the life of a medical student.

 Today has been such an off day.  Not sure why.  I've just been feeling kind of blah lately.  I've also been napping a lot more than usual.  I have got to get back into a regular sleep cycle.  Sigh.

i suppose this is why I am up late right now, writing an update.  My life is pretty boring though.  Not much to update.  (Even though there really is)

Interviewer:  What do you like to do in your free time?  What do you do when you're stressed out?

Me:  I like to write.  I keep a journal in which I often reflect about the day and what has happened.  It helps me relieve stress and put things into perspective, and improve on myself.

Interviewer:  And do you believe you'll have time to continue this ( Read more... )

The past two weeks or so have been pretty grueling and crazy.  And it's sad to realize that it's still not quite over yet.  I've come to the point that I don't feel motivated enough to cram any more information into my head.  And yet, it's months like these that give us a preview of the task that's before us.  You can't become a great physician ( Read more... )

 I just finished reading Watchmen, the graphic novel.   I am not sure how I feel about it.  I can't fathom the intricacies of such a work.  While it is merely fictional, it's historical context and psychological implications of humanity and the ethical considerations completely boggle my mind.  Each character in this novel has struck a cord with me ( Read more... )
