Chillin'

Having been severely behind in sleep (boo to six exams in seven days), I've spent most of this past week sleeping in, undergrad style. Waking up without an alarm and to four digits on the clock is pretty refreshing in itself. Between sleep deprivation and four insanely boring classes to start the day, I did not fare well as a class-goer coming back from "break." Also, since UIUC, I've had a standing policy of no class before 9:00...med school is not gonna be an exception of any sort. Combination of the above: sleep.

Instead of studying and whatnot, I've partaken in other assorted activities. Like Bulls vs. Jazz or some underground indie music place not even listed in metromix. The latter's not really my scene, but I figured I'd at least give it a shot. Some Al's Italian Beef (apparently of Esquire's Encyclopedia of Sandwiches fame) and some White Palace Grill. Hoorah for food. Watched a decent amount of college hoops, a semi-recent movie (Juno), and even partook in some Wrigleyville St. Patty's Day festivities. Maybe this week I'll get around to the work that most everyone else has been dealing with. But as far as my body and mind are concerned, I'm still on "break." And I'm inclined to listen to them.
