All Good Things

I just got back into Chicago after a few days in Southern Illinois. This event is nothing special, but it also leaves me a few hours from school starting back up. And this realization leaves a feeling of dread. I've never had more angst about a school year starting as I do now. The words angst and dread don't even sufficiently describe how I feel right now.

I've had an insanely chill and relaxed summer - mostly bumming out mixed with some travelling, biking, and imbibing. The *only* productive thing I did this summer was shadow an EM doc for a few hours. Shadowing aside, I was pretty far removed (in time, memory, and mindset) from anything med school. And now all of that is about to come crashing back into my life, on top of my last summer winding down. This is doubly unfortunate. (Yes, you're all free to call the whaambulance.) One more year of books. That's this year's motto. On a brighter note, I'll be heading up to Wisconsin for some camping and whitewater rafting this weekend. :D
