Much better in that aspect. Now motivation is lacking....maybe being out of town for a while will help. Or I hope it does, or things won't be looking so great.

Very slowly. Definitely getting burned out. Taking more breaks...getting more sleep. At least I'm not making myself get sick anymore.

Thanks! I have to get the school to accept things first. I didn't get an email back saying my reasons are rejected, so hopefully that means I'm in the clear.

How did you know this early that you wanted to go into EM?
 
From shadowing in undergrad. Found it and loved it. Didn't like the other places I was. Family members in medical field like dealing with emergency med and traumas too. Maybe it's in a gene.

Just woke up from a nap. Trying to decide if I should go study or roll over and go to sleep and get my study materials later (wake up early).

Decided the study route. Had my books in the library in the apts, so might as well study if I was going to go down there and collect my books.
