October is here and is almost gone and subtly my midterms
have blown right in with the chilly fall winds. As my residents paced back and
forth in the hallway wondering about the outcome of their tests, I just chilled
out in my room. Going about my day-to-day activities not worried about tests or
projects. I didn't think too much of why they were pacing back and forth and
then it hit me! Midterms were here. Fall break was upon me and I had not even begun
to study. I proceeded to throw myself in my studies, reviewing for this test,
going to that professors office hours. I was doing everything and anything that
I could to feel like I had control over my situation. It is enough to say in
the end I was adequately prepared, but I feel like this happens to me every
semester. I don’t know about the rest of you out there, but I feel like during
the beginning of the semester I have so much free time and I don’t know what to
do with it. I just go about my business happy as a fat cat, and then midterms
hit and it all goes down from there. Suddenly, I’m not finding enough time to
get everything done, I need to get done, including studying, talking to my
residents, having somewhat of a life. It all becomes too much, and on top of
all that midterms, which are both good and bad because of the amount of extra
stress they put on me, but good because they make me feel accomplished when I
get my grade back. Once, midterms are over there are big projects to complete,
pumpkins and turkeys to carve and then come back and it’s time for finals. Then
Christmas break! The semester flies by after fall break and I feel like it is a
bittersweet end, because it was over too soon. Oh, well I always have the
spring semester to look forward to and graduating!
