Today was one of those days when I didn't get in my own way. Yes, the day started off a little bumpy, but I am so glad I didn't let the setback set me back too much. I woke up at 9, a lot later than I had told myself I would, but for some reason, I just kept sleeping and sleeping beyond the alarm. Anyway, I got up and quickly began to dive into my studies. I listened to over 6 hours of pharmacology. Then I decided to be the good samaritan and took out the garbage in my apt. The reason I felt like a good samaritan is because I've been doing more than my fair share of the household chores at home but I had three choices, 1. confront my roommate 2. be passive aggressive by refusing to take out the trash and letting it pile up or 3. just take it out. I chose option 3 and secured my peace of mind. I guess confrontation is always an option, but I hate making things awkward over petty issues.
Then I went to...gasp...work out! After my workout, I went to a stress reduction session and enjoyed it thoroughly. Then after that, I studied at the library for an hour. This today was pretty much close to my ideal day for a medical student. I was on top of my work and I didn't slack too much. And now I'm relaxing in front of the TV for an hour or two, which I felt like I actually earned, so I don't feel bad about it either.
It's a constant struggle for me to stay on top of my game, but today at least, my motto was "yes I can"
