I should probably be sitting here, spending the next 1.5 hours studying for my last final exam of the semester, but I'd rather write, because there's nothing quite like supreme procrastination.
Yet again, I feel like my writing has lapsed in favor of studying, and there's far too much to write about in one post. I'm so happy to finally be at the end of a tough semester. The material wasn't too difficult, or maybe I've just become accustomed to constantly being so busy, but regardless, it was a long semester, especially with my sister not state-side. She comes home next Friday, and I'm so excited I cannot contain myself.
On the school front, I have found myself caring less and less about studying, and more and more about application of the material, which I think is pretty normal, given the fact that I'm a mere semester away from my full-time clinical experiences. I had 2 phenomenal rotations this fall, and love that I'm finally at a point where I can go in and see a patient, take their history and do a physical, and come out pretty sure (or at least thinking down the right path) of what is most likely going on. I really loved my 2nd go-round in pediatric endocrinology (and am planning on a 3rd time during one of my elective rotations next year), and I also ended up really loving my family practice rotation. I'm so looking forward to only 15 more weeks of sitting in a classroom (EVER) and finally doing my rotations. I'm so excited, especially for my prospective elective rotations, and I'm hoping I'll be able to figure out what I want to spend my life doing. I'm still torn between pediatric endocrinology and a surgical sub-specialty, and I have both lined up (tentatively) as elective prospects during 3rd year.
Well, now that my exam is a mere 1 hour and 2 minutes away, I shall get back to last-minute cramming....so close to freedom, I can taste it!

Last-ditch effort to procrastinate
