I'm kind of excited to get back to school and into the swing of things. Not so excited about Biochem though.

Hope all had a good break!

Haha I was actually thinking back on Christmas Eve that I'm genuinely excited to start back up 🙂 I'm definitely excited to learn this stuff, even if I'm not so excited about the hours of studying it'll take to get it all down 😛
 
Biochem is crap, but it's still not as terrible as cell bio. At least metabolism and synthesis and stuff are sort of practically applicable. I would not be excited about heading into that at all.

I know how you feel about wanting to get back in the swing of things, but it's more of a "let's get this over with" thing for me than a desire to start learning. I'm ready to be done with this classroom garbage.

yes. you are ****ing out of your mind... what the hell is wrong with you.....😕😕😕

ill include you in my prayers tonight.
 
Medical school is an addicting drug. After a few days of friends, family, and R&R you realize that you're bored. Your brain has been running wide open for the past however many months and now that there's nothing to do but watch re-runs and visit ye old sdn forums, you're looking for your next addicting fix. Of course, the high of learning will be followed by the lows of sleepless nights, being estranged from friends and family, not eating or exercising right, etc.

Fo realz. My brain needs more action than 2 weeks with family can provide.

I then go into a weird productive mode where I do all sorts of errands and cleaning that I'd been neglecting for months.
 
I already want to go back to, I just had biochem last semester and it was awesome I learned a lot, can't wait to take physio and to learn more, I don't think I'm sick at all I want to be a doctor I'm in med school why would it be weird to be so happy and enthusiastic about my career? this is everything I wanted now I'm just enjoying my trip, the best part...
 
And here I thought I was the only one getting tired of checking what's in the fridge twelve times a day...
 
I can take another week off.
But break is kind of boring. There isn't much to do.
 
i think we had this thread once before but its cool, i agree with the general sentiment of it

break is nice but i only need a couple days before i get pretty bored and on top of that i don't feel "there" yet and i have this need to keep pressing on until i am. "There" being finished med school, not necessarily residency.
 
I'm anxious to get back, but maybe not so much of getting back to med school itself as it is getting away from home. It only took a couple of days to remind me why I chose a med school eight hours away. Hell I was able to realize it over the three day thanksgiving break.

It is weird though with the insanely rapid pace suddenly stopping and now I'm sleeping 10-12 hours a day instead of ~6, working out a lot, sitting around watching tv or playing wii and being a lazy ass. As much as going back into teh **** will probably be painful, this is boring as hell.

Glad you're excited.

I'm not going to lie, though. If I could have another week of break, I'd take it. I'll sit home and watch me some olympics. (Do those start next week, or in two weeks?).

But, Monday brings more biochem. Ironically enough the lectures on Monday are about lipid metabolism. As if I didn't feel guilty enough for eating like crap the past two weeks.
 
Yeah I'm definitely looking forward to going back, I'm getting pretty tired of sleeping in watching college football and movies (I'm pretty much snowed in where I live). Being in med school makes me happy 😀

I wanna go back in so far as next semester is gonna totally blow so every day that passes until Step 1 is one more day of the next six months that I'll never have to live again..

but other than that, no, I'm home with all my friends, having awesome conversations, playing music, being a normal 20-something, staying out late, meeting nice interesting genuine southern girls in my home-town, going through my phone randomly calling all these people who I never get to see then having the time of my life........... no I do not want to go back never never never I'll go back but only so I can sit in the ocean and stare at the sun, screw med school.
 
I'm starting to looking forward to go back. I'm not leaving before the 5'th though and my break started the 12'th of december 🙂 I have slept soooo much I almost feel guilty not spending more time with my family.

Also had 4 shifts at the psych ward I worked at this summer, which was cool...

I have Gross Anatomy practical and NBME in 4-5 weeks and I need to go over everything from the first year, and on the top of that I have physiology and biochem block tests 🙁 So I'm kindeof in deep **** for not studying during the break lol... But it will work out somehow, but I will be living in the library the next coupple of months... But thats nothing new either 😀

There is nothing wrong with being excited about returning but try to get as much relaxation into this break. At the end of the year, you will appreciate being throughly rested and taking as much advantage of any breaks that you have. Do the same for next summer too.
 
I have been catching up with old friends, seeing family, going town to town, lots of stuff. I would love more time off. I feel a little of what the OP mentions but I wish I felt more.
