procrastination vulgaris

I've been wanting to start this blog for more than a month now! The whirlwind of quizes, exams, practicals, however, have successfully barred me from the attempt. And now they have left me lightheaded and very drained and in desperate need of the freeing sensation of spilling and spelling out my thoughts and experiences here.

We have just begun our USMLE (board exams) study break. The irony. How can "study" and "break" lie comfortably in the same sentence. I can almost imagine the two of them restlessly eying one another; "break" is about to jump ahead of "study" pointing out to me that I have been burrowing my head in books for months now and that I ought to "break" the "study" habit. While, study is alluring me to the idea that I should be thrilled by the opportunity to dig deep into the material that we've whizzed through the past two years and indulge myself in an experience that will expand my horizons. Not just by acheiving a desirable grade but by also integrating the knowledge and reliving the two year learning experiences in 6 months.

Study wins. For the next 6 weeks I aim to keep a daily account and update on the things I discover and the past moments I relive. So let the fun begin!
