Medschool takes great pleasure in seeing me struggle to stay awake as they continuously deluge me with clinical classes or lab sessions in the morning, I begin to realize as I attended the nth early morning lab session of the week today--unusual, really, considering how exciting lab sessions are and how any trace of exhaustion is immediately erased (temporarily) when it's lab time. Of course when it comes to just viewing microscopic slides and nothing more, all initial enthusiasm goes down the drain and it becomes a chore. Having to wake up early did NOT help at all.
For today, it was that, and the dread-anticipation-excitement of meeting the juniors I'm in charge of for the next 2 weeks. Quite a quiet bunch, I must say; hardly exciting at all come to think of it, but I'm keeping my expectations high, since we were probably like that on the first day anyway. Oldslut and Queenslut did not go easy on the poor noobs for being so, though and I pity them somewhat--but hey, someone has to be the one dishing out the tough love ultimately.
And being the responsible senior I am I actually skipped my first lecture to attend to them (something that proved fruitless come to think of it). Rest assured however I attended the second one, but nearly slept through it (logic being that when a lecturer reads from the slides they aren't exactly lecturing, and I could well read it myself--faster, in fact-- thank you) but since yuyu-sempai told me to listen to her I had to bear with it.
And then there's having to train said juniors tomorrow in first aid (in the morning!), preparing for PBL and of course joining them for icebreakers.
I may just die tomorrow.
