spinning into control

after a whirlwind of activities these last two weeks, it was about time we got a long weekend. it was well-deserved and much-needed. between working on student government, having meetings with alumni, setting up a big lab for ER club, and the regular medical school rigarmarole, my head was spinning about a million miles an hour. its something I haven't felt in several years - pretty much since undergrad when I was working multiple jobs and sleeping about twenty hours a week. I guess old habits die hard.
the only difference is this time, I've managed to stay focused and stay on task. despite all the crazy things that have been going on, I still managed to stay above the curve on my exams and coursework. it honestly feels like things have just been falling into place. granted, I could be spending more time exercising, but it honestly felt like I was stressing out enough to burn off all the crappy junk food I've been eating since I didn't have much time to cook.
even so, it looks like I've got a short break here before it all picks up again. our next exam is friday, but that starts a huge string of exams and preceeds the big AOA conference in Orlando. so, things look bright and sunny now, but we'll see how things work out as the end of the proclaimed "hardest quarter" comes to an end.
