procraaaaastination

5 years ago I'd never heard of this word before. It wasn't till I started university and landed in a flat with an english literature student that the world of procratination, olives (courtesy of greek flatmate) and mulitple boyfriends (courtesy of the nocturnal glaswegian business studies student). Four and a half years on I appear to have perfected the art of procrastination, developed a taste for olives but never mulitple boyfriends (one is apparently too hard.)

So my top three procrastination activities after many years of experience appear to be:
(1) The internet: email, blogs, facebook......
(2) Cleaning (am thinking minor ocd perhaps)
(3) staring into space...

you'd think I'd have gotten more imaginative by this point....

and maybe, just maybe, being a medic n all that I would have learned to incorporate exercise into procrastination alas I have not. So now it is lent, I'm thinking that might be my "resolution", not so much giving something up but adding something good into my life. Hmm so we'll see. Can old dog's learn new tricks??

loosing it (yes, well actually lost it)

I've lost my stethescope, of all blinking things.....bloody hell. It appears my brain is not in gear much more than I think. My eptic 24 hours with 2 hours sleep on tues/wed was obviously not conducive to my propensity to loose things ( inlcuding my own head-lucky it's just hanging on in there.)

and the show goes on

Saturdays are rapidly becoming the same...get up work, have lunch, watch scrubs, work.....puddle. Sometimes I think Scrubs just nails things right on the head. Not real but hey, they get those emotions bang on (at least from what I've gathered so far in this medicine lark). Anyway, back to real life medicine....doh.

just try

So up and down that's how it goes. Sometimes I feel like I've hit rock bottom then I find I'm still drowning somwhere deeper down than I thought possible. This week I've amazed myself twice over: one, that I stayed up for a whole night shift then most of the day afterwards to make the most of teaching; two, that I felt more rubbish than ever. And I don't know why but I do know that I need to pull myself together.

I know where I'll be working (well, assuming finals are passed) and I feel happy with the job. But sometimes it seems like there's an impossibly high mountain to climb.....

Ok, so, regroup, plan and get down to work. Another 10 weeks and finals will be beginning...nothing like that to make your stomach churn.

I'll try.....
