Looking for Frankenstein...

Thursday, 11 March 2010

I'm dying of exhaustion/work/medicine! We had an essay in for Monday, one in for Tuesday (I pity the poor soul who has to read that piece of ****) and now we have an exam tomorrow. There's a part of my brain that has yet to acknowledge the fact that 20% of a module will be assessed on Friday. Tomorrow. Tomorrow. What am I going to do?

I know that we're meant to be doctors. Or at least, doctors in training. And as such we have to get used to multiple deadlines arriving at once, juggling 20 million tasks, career, family, friends, social life, sleep. But do I have to get used to it right now? I just want to sleep. Please. For longer than six hours. Preferably without interruptions. I'm so tired that I'm sleeping through my alarm. It doesn't help that the alarm clock is kind of bust. It's possible I pulled the aerial out.....

So why am I on here, you ask. Well, procrastination mainly. I have an hour free now and yet work mode just doesn't want to jump in. Maybe there's a button I can press somewhere. Re-wire my brain perhaps. The  basement in the medical school looks like a morgue - maybe if I just keep walking east/west I'll find a Frankenstein like guy who would be more than willing to chop the top half of my skull off.

No. This is our/my life now. Work, work, work. It never stops. It will never stop. And yes, I know we have holidays in two weeks, but the four weeks we have off (plus the two extra weeks study leave) are going to be spent learning four modules and relearning another four. Oh summer, how I wish you would come soon. Maybe there's a summer dance, kind of like the rain dance...

I jest, I jest. There will be no more re-wiring. Or complaining (I wonder  how long that will last). Instead there will be caffeine. I'm off to revise. Something. Maybe. Perhaps.
