Festivity

As of yesterday I've finished two core rotations and am feeling good.  I ended up going to a party of a good friend to celebrate their birthday and got to re-connect with a lot of great people.

I hung out with this girl I kind of like and that was fun; where things are headed I'm not really sure, but you really just play life by ear when you're always so busy.  At times you really just get too busy to get hung up on things or care and move onto the next item on your to-do-list.

I'm almost a 3rd year medical student now, and I feel accomplished, horrified, and uncertain, hah.  It's great having survived basic sciences, done reasonably well on my first rotations, but terrifying at how much time has passed since I started school.  So many days go by so quickly just studying, working, or both.

I head to bed around 1135 or so at night, and get up around 415am everyday to study and work for the entire day, day after day.  It's hard on you, and you can just work non-stop if you're someone like me who finds purpose in work and finds being busy therapeutic.  I think work is therapeutic because I love to work, but also, I'm kind of a lonely person, so it serves as a good distraction.

I'm looking forward to cultivating better social relationships.  I have some really good friends who seem to enjoy my company, but you just have to put in extra effort to get them all together in the same place and to make time to make it out to events.

That's it for now, I belong to surgery for the next three months starting next week.  let's hope it's a good one
