The first year of medical school was like, terror. Every Sunday and Wed night (exams are on Monday and most Thursdays of first year) I would get myself all worked up about some exam. We didn't take breaks to eat or chat (mostly). Second year, a lot of that changed. I don't think my study group has once decided it was a good idea to work through dinner. We watch a short 30 min show, or what ever is on... I think even just doing this was good for us. There were still many weeks where we thought we weren't going to make it (finals weeks are always a challenge... 5 to 6 exams in 5 days is never fun), but for the most part I'd have to say that second year has vastly outweighed first year in the way of sanity..... Until now....
We are preparing for boards. For those of you not part of the INSANE medical community, boards are impossible. At least right now they feel that way. I am aware that in just over a month they will be over and my life will regain the small piece of normalcy I was so proud of regaining in my second year.... But right now..... I feel like I will never leave this office... and that when I finally do escape to eat dinner, or go to bed, I feel guilty that I'm not studying. Saturday I sat here for 11 hours and 45 min before escaping. That is almost 12 full hours of sitting in one spot.... My body hurts..... From doing NOTHING!
Ok, enough complaining... I have it pretty good. I don't have to stop to cook, clean, do dishes, grocery shop, or take the dog out to pee... I have a wonderful Tyler, who is patient, understanding, selfless and just about all around amazing. I know I can't complain too much... At least part of the reason I'm complaining though, is that I never get to see him.. I see the Doctors in Training guy more than I see him.... It's awful... So while I sit in here, he makes sure I don't go without anything I might need. I am SO thankful.
We are planning the wedding again (well, we've set a date, no planning is actually happening until we get these pesky boards out of the way)!!!! The day is........ May 21, 2011. I have to say it's about time. We got engaged in August of 2007 and were supposed to tie the knot July 19th of 2008... School got in the way, and school almost got in the way this time too... Fortunately I was able to move a few things around and get what I want... A husband! :)
Well, I guess thats all.... This kind of turned into a little venting spree... I didn't mean for that to happen, but it is what it is.... I'll be happy June 15th when I am done with this stuff, can (hopefully if I pass the exam) put it all behind me, and enjoy some much needed time with my family and friends. Bella is in here because she makes me happy.... She's so darn cute
