a few spare minutes in the morning - what a blessing it is! Listening to Jason Mraz's soft love song, "Hey Love". A few moments to collect myself before the barrage of a full day begins. Midterms start tomorrow - with a comprehensive anatomy quiz. It hasn't really hit me yet, I think I'm in a psychiatric defense mode, in this case, which is denial. :) (wait, I think that was one of the unhealthy primitive defenses...)

You know you're deep in something when you start relating to things learned in class to real life! the last time this happened was when i was studying for the mcat's.

it's amazing, i've studied all my life to be in med school, and now it's actually happening, and it's so different from anything i've imagined. it's pretty scary that i've prepared for something that i had no idea what it was about. i also feel lucky that i love it, but there was also an equal chance that i could have hated it. the whole pre-med thing should educate their pre-meds on what it's actually like, being in med school. my proposal would be to eradicate the entire ochem series to do this. haha. my gpa would be a lot higher, that's for sure.

hm, i forgot... tomorow is hat day. i only have winter hats though. for me, hats are practical - to shade sun or to keep my head warm. med school is giving us one point on our quiz if we wear a hat! isnt' that mean, like bribing, for a fun atmosphere? it'll be interesting to see what people wear though. :)

Hey Love
by Jason Mraz

Hey love, where you going to?
You're not sleeping anymore, you're just trying to.
Stay love, where you running to?
Awful happens all the time, don't let it kill you.

Easily with me I feel as fast as I can see...
Afraid of the horror stories I fall down on my knees.

Come away, come away.
From all these things unheard
If a chosen word has got you cornered
Then it's a lesson learned
Like close the book before it burns you.
Come away, come away.
From all these things unseen
At the price you paid I promise you won't believe anything they say
Belief will only disappoint you

In case you never noticed the path you never chose has chosen you.

Afraid to face and break it.
The secret.
