my brains, oh! my brains!!
Hi everyone. I just finished a six hour exam on the head and neck. You think that after studying so much about brains that I'd feel smarter, yet I can barely mangage to cross the street. Medical school is tough, no doubt. I'm doing pretty well, considering I was one of the last people accepted into medical school - I'm in the top 20% and I havent had a fullout breakdown just yet (the mini breakdowns dont count).
I hate living in the city. Right now, my biggest reason is that Matt is so miserable. He hasnt yet found a job, and he is in the same situation that I was in earlier this year. You're overqualified with education, and you have no experience in the field. I can see that he's kind of depressed, but it's hard to mention it without sounding accusatory. For example, he sleeps in late and then isnt able to complete things he wants to do time and again. It's too easy for me to accuse him for not getting things done, as it seems he has all the time in the world... but I know what its like - not feeling like you're worth anything to anybody - feeling like you've wasted years of your time and thousands of dollars on education and its gotten you nowhere. Colleges really should have integrated job programs to expose people to some career experience. Isnt that why you're going to school? So you can have a one-up on those that havent?
Oh well. Without Matt working we're experiencing extreme financial burdens living in one of the most costly cities in the world. We thought we had a house fund, and we were going to use a portion of it to pay for the move to the East coast. Our savings account shrank so much that we changed our plans and instead of a house we'd go on a nice vacation in the spring. That again has been changed to just simply surving over the next few months while we find a job. After those few months it's unemployment and bankruptcy claims.... or something. I may be a little dramatic - but this is the furthest in the hole I've ever been.
Christmas doesnt look to good this year. I bought a couple of presents earlier this Fall because I expected for our finances to be secure. Those little gifts seem so stupid and random right now, that I cant think of giving them away if I cant afford to purchase anything else. Poo... I have to go now...
