so under kat's gentle prodding i have decided to post.
so let's see. what's been new?
it's been an absolutely insane semester: a two-month semester with five classes, three papers, eight exams, two take-home finals...and a clinical placement starting next week.
i'm at the montreal general hospital seeing psychiatric patients. or "mental health" as they call it. i don't know what to expect. i get a magnetic nametag though. if i get a magnetic nametag nothing too bad can come out of that. i hope i won't go crazy.
MCAT season is just around the corner. Which means I'll be spending the entire spring and summer studying for this. the test i need to do perfect in to get into med school. as ivan put it: the most important test of my life. maybe not as melodramatic as that but this is huge. i'll have to restudy everything done in cegep: bio I+II, physical chem I+II, organic chem, mechanics, optics and e&m. one word: dread.
although seeing as the weather's getting warmer it might not be so bad. i'll miss out all the brilliant sunshine going on outside. it's almost summer. mmmm....summer. time for hot chili and cold drinks, for skipping through garden hoses and reminiscing about cuba and lounging around in short-shorts...and studying.
crap.
it just won' t go away.
on a side note: i'm usually not this inarticulate and apathetic, it's just that i've had exams from 8:30-5:00 today and something very unfortunate happened at about 4:15 in the middle of my last exam...which i will not get into in a blog. you'll have to ask me if you want to know. sometimes i do want to save the world. really. but today, i just want to sleep.
final word: thank you anita for keeping me sane these past six months of occupational therapy school. without you i'd be stuck with...people i will not mention because it's just not nice. it's great to have a friend.
verse of the day:
make that verse of the past three weeks:
Phillipians 4:13
"I can do all things through Him who gives me strength."
