omigosh.. i can't stand being in school!! ok, so it's not the worst thing in the world. i'm actually enjoying this rotation kinda.. it's really interesting (i get to interview schizophrenic patients and sit in on rounds with doctors and residents and other med school studets etc.). my life could be way worse. i'm just so tired of being in school-- i CAN'T WAIT til the day when i can just come home.. and RELAX. i'd love to do nothing at the end of the day; just unwind with some good food, some non-brain utilizing activity, and people i love. i hate having to worry about deadlines and preparing for the next day's loadacrap.
but yeah.. i really had a reality check yesterday. turns out one of my high school classmates (who i thought was super cute and so nice.. smart to top it all off) was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease, stage III. man, here i am complaining about having to learn about oncology treatment, and he's gonna be starting to receive treatment. there was an email sent out to our class cuz he's requesting annual leave from his new job (radiology physicist?) so he can get his treatments, and needs our support. it almost made me cry. really puts your life into perspective.
so yeah. life is good. it's difficult at times, but man.. i have a lot to be thankful for.
