LESSONS FROM MEDSCHOOL
I never expected 6 years could teach me so many things..i mean it feels like a different life when i look back and am a different person. When i started with it, i knew everything i wanted from life , where i wanted to be at the end of 10yrs , with whom , doing what .. and now after been there done that, i am clueless but atleast i have an open mind. This is what i learnt so far.
1.What goes around comes around-- ya life is short, so if there was 1 subject or even 1 topic that you didnt read with your heart, accept it honey it will haunt you forever , in 1 exam / next prof / enterance/ step..you will have to fix it sometime . There is just no escape.
2.When i study hard..work my soul out..the only way to know if i had a efficient day, is my handwriting at the end, if it looks like i have got parkinsonism, job was well done
3.All nighters are over rated ..though they are loads of fun. n yeah they are benign , you can go on to have a perfect day the very next day. Human body has all the reserve to work for 36 hours. All nighters doesnt really hurt your performance. If you know it ,its inside your head..no worries
4.Anxiety > coffee> coffee> More Anxiety > More Coffee...till caffeine receptors are downregulated and your neurons run out of all the spark and u doze off.
5.Sleep is a luxury...after all these years i can proudly say being a medico I can sleep anywhere( ward/ labour room/ casuality/ Lecture theatres) on any surface( bed/ table / chair/ LT desks) with any thing( books/ bones/food /lappy/fone) on my bed.
There are more to add ,which i surely will enumerate in my next study break
I go a little crazy before my exams ..so am trying to live upto my standards of madness.

This is no doubt the most happening year of my life. I have been moving forward with such a pace , that at times i wonder it might be just a dream. Everything around has changed and everyone i love in life is entering a different / new phase of their lives. Life changes fast . Change at most of the times is a little uncomfortable.
No one will understand my state right now, nor do i expect them too. May be when everything is over, may be when this all ends i might get the chance to undo the damage. At times i wish i had some more time . I hope things would be better post june. Hope floats.
