Life is full of tough choices.
Option A (in coffee):


Option B (I like it better in blueberry):

Hm...

The end is nigh. My post-exam mani/pedi/massage is booked.

My attention span is starting to resemble that of a gnat. If you email me now, you are guaranteed a reply within 15 minutes because that is how often I've been checking my email/globeandmail.com/
facebook.

In other news, this is the 4th day in a row that I will not be leaving my apartment except to buy coffee.

7 more days...

Happy happy happy birthday Andrea =)

I'm sending the love through the blizzards of Alberta, across the prairies, out to Toronto where the weather has hopefully been beautiful and sunny for your birthday.

The to-do list for the next 8 days (I believe in public accountability):

• Hematology
• Rheumatology
• Endocrinology
• Ortho
• Urology
• Public Health
• Review, review, review everything else.

8 more days.

The blizzard outside my window leaves me no choice but to study. I can't even reward myself with slurpees. In other news, yet another highlighter has given its life for my education.

9 more days...

Cabin fever is setting in.

Tomorrow is the last day of medical school. It's been four years and tomorrow is the last time I wake up, grab a coffee and trudge over to the hospital. In the future, I will wake up, grab coffee and trudge over to another hospital, it doesn't really mater which one. But tomorrow will be the last day for this hospital.

Today, my friend and I fought over whether or not a juice box should go into a recycling container marked 'cans and bottles only'. She was stressed out over our exams and was physically bruised and tired after a rough soccer game. I was stressed out over our exams and was cranky after 3 hours of lecture that reminded me how little I know. We both are unable to put words to what tomorrow and the next few weeks means to us, in terms of accomplishments and sacrifices and milestones in our life. We will leave each other next year for our respective residency programs after having studied together, dissected a cadaver together, sat beside each other for countless hours during lecture, celebrated birthdays and engagements and passed tests. Instead of crying, we fight over juice boxes. I yell at my sister and play silly online games. She yells at her boyfriend and makes homemade cards. Our other friend withdraws into cartoons. Another friend, Korean soap operas. Words that are unable to find their way out of my mouth.

Becoming an adult and a 'real' doctor is expensive =(

The money I had to pay to write the exam should be enough motivation not to have to do it again. I need to study.

Can life please just leave me alone for a month? I would really like to study.

No more life planning - no more vacations that might or might not occur 18 months from now, weddings that might or might not take place, buying a house, getting a mortgage, signing up for disability insurance, career planning, grad planning, grad trip planning, signing up for high interest savings accounts, canceling low interest savings accounts, signing up for value plus accounts as opposed to value accounts, sublet my apartment, move my stuff, pack my stuff, sell my stuff, choose a paint color for my room, re-design my room, purge my room, cancel utilities, transfer utilities etc. etc. etc.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!
