time
These past few weeks have been the most academically unproductive weeks I’ve had this semester. In retrospect, I should probably be paying attention to Biochem lectures and writing my papers earlier than the few days before they’re due.
While thinking about how I spent my time, I can’t say that I actually have regrets.
I’ve become a lot closer to my boy residents, and they’re growing very near and dear to my heart. I’m glad I have another semester with them, but I wish I could keep them until I graduate! They’ve taught me that I have so much more to learn about the world, and they also remind me how Duke is able to pick such special, unique, and intelligent people to form a community that is encouraging and challenging at the same time. My residents also remind me that it’s really not that hard to relate to others; everyone has something in common.
My brother’s visit was a good break for me. It was the break from people and drama that I so desired. It’s refreshing to spend time with someone who you don’t need to be in constant conversation with and does not scrutinize my words and actions. We only ate, watched movies, and went shopping, but it was the break that I desperately needed. As much as I did enjoy having my brother here, I’m actually really glad he’s gone too hahaha. He takes up too much room and throws my sleep schedule way off (thank you, California time.)
As finals week approaches and the stress level rises, I feel ready and refreshed to take these assignments on.
