proper life update
19 Aug 2011 01:41 pmBecause I feel like one is due!
Med school
My long case exam was on Tuesday...I'm really not sure how I went, and look forward to two weeks of intermittent agonising about the damn thing before I find out whether or not I have to retake it. My final written exams are in five weeks, and as yet I'm not too worried about those.
Jobs
At this stage it's around 90% likely that I'll be going to Wollongong for the next two years, but ACT Health continues to waffle around, and they've made noises indicating a couple of second-round offers might be given next week; my dad's done everything short of outright nepotism to convince them that actually, I DO really want a job there, despite the fact that I've provisionally accepted the Wollongong offer. In my current fragile state I do not deal well with extraneous sources of uncertainty!
Relaxation
My housemates and I are throwing an impromptu dinner party tonight for the few fourth years who aren't going back to Sydney for the weekend, that should be fun. I also bought S1 of The Good Wife on DVD and am looking forward to watching that in study breaks. Or instead of study. Whatever.
Writing
*SOBS* I think stress has momentarily fried my writing brain. I have things to work on but I can't find the right headspace for any of them. I've also really, really started to miss original writing; it's been forever since I worked on eyai or thought about any of my other ideas.
Reading
I am MASSIVELY behind on booklogging (see also: inability to form words) but I don't think I linked to the two latest, Guardian of the Dead and The October Country. I have a couple of older Booker Prize winners waiting by my bedside at the moment, although they're probably a poor choice; I'm more in the mood for comfort rereading or escapist fantasy at the moment.
