Day 2

Well, fine, so it's not day 2 of medical school, but it is day two of this blog, and that is a significant day. It means that I am here again, posting my thoughts in the little time I allot for this.

Studying was better today (in that I sat down and did it consistantly) but I only had 3 hours of real study time, which is not enough to keep up at all. I cut down some of the work, but I'm still so very, very behind. I think I need a new game plan. Shorter notes, faster working, more direct focus on the important things, avoid redundancy (haha, not with this teacher), and maybe do THAT DAY's work, and try to catch up the "old stuff" this Friday. yeah... right. I'm supposed to be studying this weekend, not catching up on the week's work! The test is on tuesday, so thank heavens I have monday to study for. (Thank heavens for MLK, not only a good man, but his memory may just save my butt for this test.)

I learned a lot of biostatistics and physiology today, which was a good thing. I really did need the help. Turns out, my math-brain is something akin to jello... It makes learning it rough, for sure. But I feel better, and we might just get this math stuff down yet.

In health news, still struggling with nausea and severe fatigue every morning. Last two nights I've been waking up frequently, sometimes sweating, sometimes freezing, sometimes I wake up and I start praying (where I left off, as it seems I drifted before the big "AMEN") and sometimes from a dream. Thankfully, no real nightmares to speak of, so that's been a blessing.

This week, went through a giddy, "Let's freaking get married now" to a sobering "Nope, not now" stage. So that was fun. Presently, I'm considering things I want to see in our relationship, which is wonderful and good, but I might be leaning towards negative, unconstructive thinking, must modify!! Also must call the man now.

Pray for a daunting schedule, a run-down (unfocused) girl, and for sleep, wellness and peace about the upcoming test.
