Stressssssssssssssssssssss

Med students have been described existing in a cyclic 2 (possibly three) phase state:

1) Preparing to study for an exam

2) Studying for an exam

3) (Drunk and passed out after the exam)

With that in mind, the following senseless ramblings are just a taste of the bizarre and ridiculous thoughts running through my head (I’m obviously in phase 2)…….phase 3 can’t get here soon enough.

As I look down at my bowl of dried out chicken (forgot it in the oven), romaine lettuce and a mélange of other vegetables I blanch in disgust and force another bite down my throat. I want to throw it away, but I’m absolutely certain that my cortisol levels are through the roof, and if it even tries to catabolize an ounce of my muscle I swear to God I’ll seriously induce adrenal insufficiency on myself (just joking I need my cortisol for the short term memory enhancement right now). I think a great product that would really take off among med students are Soylent Green type crackers. Or food pellets……better yet some sort of automated pellet dispenser that dispenses food capsules with all the needed macronutrients, vitamins and minerals in one swallowable pill……..because its nearly impossible to find time to eat decently, and trying to incorporate 10-15 servings of vegetables and fruit on a daily basis….. compounding this with a 5 inch stack of notes to read through…..only one more week that’s all…..one more week…..

Earlier in the day…..

Ever been scared witless, followed by that feeling of extreme exhaustion after? Yeah, that’s how my day started off. I’ve decided I’m a specist (pronounced Shpee-sist), this is akin to a racist, only instead I’m prejudiced against certain forms of species……like canines…. because they were quite possibly going to tear my legs off and then go in for my jugular this morning. I saw how they were looking at me (the same way I look at a cow……mmmmmm meat……). Something I definitely did not need at high stress times like these. This is how my morning started out on my supposedly stress relieving run …..
