tammy's blog about food got me thinking.
i really like eating. i'm sure most people enjoy it also. and i agree wholeheartedly with all that tammy said about eating. there is seriously a special bond when you eat together, when you "break bread together," as jesus did.
but just as rain was my enemy when my dad had a roofing company in LA (meant a whole bunch of phone calls to our home, where parents operated the business, the reason why i hate to use the phone to this day), food is the enemy of a serious medical student. (which i became, only recently, in my panic)
1. food takes time to make (or takes time to walk to a fast food place, in my case)
2. food takes time to eat
3. food makes me super sleepy for the next 2 hrs
this cuts into my study time in a MAJOR way. at this point, i am not appreciating tasty foods too much. food feels rough, i feel like i'm chewing endlessly, and the bolus sticks in my throat.
#3, in particular, makes me resentful. almost to the point that i feel like not eating at all. i wish there was a way to take a pill that would satisfy my nutritional requirements, without the ordeal of eating, and its effects.
****
and now, for the recent MAJOR SETBACK in my life (i almost felt like crying...):
the test center that i was told would be available this wkend is in reality NOT available. i was FALSELY informed, in my previous call. ARGH!!! in fact, there is none available within a reasonable distance (i'm not about to go to buffalo, NY).
the next available test dates are early 2nd wk of december. this time, i checked 3 different times, with 3 different ppl, to make sure. also, i will be able to take the test in manhattan, during that wk.
this really, really stinks. i feel like i've been studying for this exam forever.
sorry to keep all my friends hanging like this. :(
****
and to round everything out, i think i might be getting sick. i recognize that feeling. this is what i get for not getting a flu shot when i'm LIVING IN A MEDICAL CENTER, and when my parents told me wks ago to get one. i'm stubborn AND stupid AND sick. someone slap me.
