Purple Nights
Published by Amy under Medical School on December 1, 2007warning I am about to spew much med school venting.
Why I hate medical school…
Because I can study for a week straight right through Thanksgiving and still worry about my exam grade after the exam because I suck at multiple choice tests no matter how hard I try to fix that.
Because no matter how hard I try I never seem to be as on top of it all as everyone around me.
Because I keep doing laundry and not having enough time to put my clothles away so I just have piles of clothes around my room at all times.
Because I can’t ever seem to do the things that seem to really matter like my ministry and activism activities even half well beacuse medical school sucks spoons.
Because I have spent time, spoons and much anguish trying to get health insurance…while I work and learn in a hospital.
Because I have been reading the same book for the past three months because I don’t have time to finish it.
Because I have tears running down my face today sitting in churchtongiht because it hurt to sit down for any length of time because medical school sucked spoons to the point I have double hip bursitis.
Because I am sitting in my bed trying to sleep off the pain while my friends are out basking in the freedom of post-exam weekend.
Because my friends wonder if I am horribly ill as I tell them I have to go home.
Because I have 6 cellphone messages and a pile of e-mails, 2 thank you notes and a boat load of Christmas shopping to do and no spoons to do it with.
Because for the last week I have had boxes of Christmas decorations in my car and no time or spoons to get them out.
Yeah I hate med school sometimes. Sometimes I have second thoughts. Sometimes I dream of just disappearing and just holding abandoned babies for the rest of my life. To heck with medical school, I rather be a student of humanity, I rather use my precious cartilage on something else.
then I wake up and I am still swollen and still frustrated and I wonder what was I thinking.
PS if you don’t know what a spoon is….go here

Oh Amy, I wish I was there, cause I have lots of spoons to share. I bet mine plus yours could get a weeks worth of dinners made, grocery shopping done, laundry folded and your apartment clean. I wish you had me there to pitch in some spoons…
