Hiding at the lake for a few days, posts will be retrospective.
Just made a run into Laketown for
some caffeine. Also decided to supplement the nutritious benefits of Coca Cola
Classic with a pint of Ben & Jerry’s Half Baked. Oh, and that all-important
generic CVS Ibuprofen. For some reason, and it might be the
incoming weather front, the top of my head and behind my forehead has been
hurting since late last night. The medical student in me freaks out that I’m
having a subdural hematoma by way of aneurysm…but two days the later the
medical student in me says that I would be dead by now if that were the case,
or at least have some sort of motor impairment. Right?
Coming back from town I was
reminded why I don’t live here anymore: the drivers would give me the aneurysm
I was concerned about if I had to drive here full time again. HIYA Lady stops at a
green light because I don’t know why, and then she doesn’t pull to the right
when an ambulance is coming…DUMBASS! = YOU. Then I get behind an astutely
clever gal whose probably-perpetually confused expression I could see in her side
view mirror. She proceeds to put her turn indicator on and slow down to 30 mph
almost a mile before her turn (and there were no other turns on the road)…and
as if that wasn’t enough, comes to a complete stop in order to make a ninety-degree
turn (with no other car for miles…other than me that is). Ugh, I swear people
need to take an idiot test before being allowed to drive or reproduce.
A typical day of studying right
now is looking like this.
I do my best to get up before 8am,
some days I’m more successful than others. No later than 10 I want to be
plugging away. I learned a long time ago that I’m not good for much more than
one solid hour of studying at a time, and then I need at least a half hour to
let all that information process and sort (through the Papez circuit thank you
very much) itself out. Then I go again. And it continues like this until either
I’m so frustrated with a concept I cannot see straight, or I get through the
daily allotment.
