life before med school.

i miss life before med school. here's why:

- taking long weekends, friday to monday, without falling behind
- getting paid to work my ass off
- going home and leaving my work at work
- gmail chat... all. day. long.
- being somebody else's boss, and having "my chair"
- youtube
- playing with babies = work
- lunch breaks without a time limit
- evenings of jamaican food delivery & watching bravo
- very little anxiety
- happy hour. whenever.
- new york city, to which nothing compares



and here's why i'm glad to be in med school:

- the human body. really frickin' amazing.
- nerdy lunch lectures: pediatric nephrology, anyone?
- "extracurriculars"
- lots to kvetch about (wait, is that good?)
- shadowing: now, with legal protection!
- lots of smart people = super humbling experience
- the four-year countdown to kanj, MD
- learning how to be really useful to people who need you
- working towards what i've wanted to do practically my entire life...



huh. not quite as appealing a list, is it...
::grins:: and yet it works. such is life.
