So things have DEFINITELY picked up here, as evidenced by the decline in returned phone calls & blog posts. I still love you all! We have finals in a couple of weeks so everyone is starting to raise their stress level. I feel like I'm appropriately worried...there's been a healthy balance of me doing well on some of the quizzes/other random benchmarks to bring my confidence level up and not well enough on others to keep me feverishly studying. I guess it's a good thing? I'm so fortunate to be in this particular med school class - everyone is very open to different career paths and interests which is good because I obviously don't have the exact same end career goal in mind as many of them do, though our excitement about really helping humanity is (I think) the same. Also, most people are so sweet! & hilarious AND accepting of me doing weird voices which is really critical. ;)
One conversation I had last night at LKSC (Li Ka Shing Center, I'll post a pic of this beautiful new building at the end) really struck me...there are so many people who are anxious to be in a relationship! There's a relatively large portion of the class who are in very serious relationships or married and then another big group who really want to be in a relationship. It's an interesting dynamic...every time we go out, someone in our class has inevitably done something scandalous with someone ELSE in our class. Madness! I don't think I feel that same compulsion to be in a relationship just yet...and I don't know if I should? Maybe it's due to the fact that I've been meeting crazy men and am not anxious to do that again (!!!) or that I just don't have the tendency to feel lonely. I really want to get my life settled first and figure out a great balance before I bring anyone else in. Maybe that's just how I feel today though, things are always subject to change.
I'm so glad we have this Labor Day weekend...it's a good time to catch up on work/life things. I have a conference with all the Cancer Biology PhD's this week so I'll finally get to know them & hopefully have rave reviews as well. I miss you guys! Keep sending me emails/comments :)

sounds like your med school class should have a quota... maybe you could start a scandalous new trend!
