Well, first quarter is done! I'm very excited to say the first quarter is under my belt now. It's definitely a relief, and I have a feeling I won't be as stressed in the upcoming quarters. I'm sure there will be times when I will be, but overall, knowing that I passed all my classes, got off to a good start, and that overall, everything will be ok is a huge advantage for the future quarters.
During finals, I was not nearly as stressed as I was during midterms. One thing I learned from midterms is that I need time with people outside of class. I need to socialize without friends other than my girlfriend. Now, that being said, I still spent 18 hours in the cadaver lab the week leading up to finals. I just used my free time to socialize, rather than just going up to my apartment and relaxing alone. Having people to talk with did wonders for me mentally.
Overall, next semester I am going to try and take more time for myself, without sacrificing my grades. It is going to be tough because we have 7 more hours of class per week than this semester, but I think it is going to be really important to take some time off to rejuvenate. I am going to try and start my reading for next quarter on the flights back ton east coast after my vacation in Northern California is over early next week. I want to get ahead if I can to make the the start of next quarter a bit smoother.
I'll try and update this blog again before school starts.
