week 5 winter quarter

since it is the middle of the mindlessly difficult winter quarter, i'm not updating my blog. but here' s an excerpt from an email i just sent to my friend:

"sleep is totally over-rated. there is nothing better than dragging yourself out of bed at 7am after falling asleep with your laptop in your bed at 3am. the best part is the motivational mantra i use to gather enough strength and will to toss the sheets away: "i'm going to go to bed again tonight. it's just a few hours away. it will be alright."

oh, yes, there is something better... doing all of the above, only to rush into clinic at 8 am to do your first pap smear ever on a 60 year-old women with tatoos. yep, that is as good as it can get. (most poignant quote of the day came from my friend Roxanne who was in my 'let's do the pap smear six times on the same woman group'. She yelled it accross the lawn when we were back on campus a few hours later: "I can still smell IT on me!!!"

oh med school. what's there not to love?"
