it always seems to happen in block 4. my brain is done. i’m tired and cranky and i forget why i wanted to be a doctor in the first place. i just want to toss my textbooks out the window and head to the beach.

i don’t care why fluconazole is better than amphotericin B or why the Salk vaccine is used over Sabin or which opportunistic infection is most common in new HIV cases or what serological marker indicates hepatitis B immunity or what the difference is between vif and vpu and vpr or ribavirin’s mechanism against RSV or which fly transmits Trypanosoma brucei gambiense or what stupid little worm is removed by slowly wrapping it around a matchstick or which hepatitis has the highest chronicity rate.

beach. now. please.

    If you have to read a book on how to be idle then you’re not doing it right. Just saying.

    Hang in there Jennifer. Be like the Riders (they lost their QB and their top receiver and still in hung in for the win – not too mention lightning and hail and a poor start). Never give up!

    what do you do when you’re REALLY disappointed with your grades….. anything in particular to get you out if the “i don’t even want to try anymore” rut? just had a look, and it seems all my studying was useless.

    re: your short and sweet

    i don’t like who i am when i’m stressed, or upset.. it doesn’t feel like me but its really hard for me to avoid sometimes.
