One semester down, seven more to go

I realize that I haven't written in a while, and I can't help but feel that as I sit here in Levy Library, all I'm managing to do is procrastinate.

I wanted to check in though. We're half way to the midterms of Histo and Physio, and I'm not loving the subject matter, I've got to be honest. It's been a bit boring, and I'm hoping it picks up. We are going to clinical sites this Wednesday with ASM, and I'm hoping that helps to pick things up.

I'm having a really hard time deciding what to do with my summer. No matter what idea I come up with, it seems to come to a dead end. There hasn't been a lot of support from faculty and administration (all my emails remain unanswered), and I'm starting to feel just as frustrated as I was before my trip to Mozambique two years. I know that if I end up volunteering somewhere on my own, I probably won't get a paper published, which should be a goal of mine. At the same time, I have absolutely no interest in sitting in a lab this summer, or working around the schedule of a Sinai professor.

So right now things like apartment decisions, summer plans, and Belize are much more stressful than class, which seems more like a distraction than the purpose of me being here.

I am just worried that things will things are going to get much more stressful when the classwork piles up.
