Summer is great:) Yeah, I know. DUH. It's summer! It's supposed to be like that. LULZ. But I don't know. I guess for me it's a time to un-deprive myself of things that I had to forego during my first year as a med student. Well, fine. Maybe the "foregoing" process wasn't really a conscious decision. But because of the schedule and the hours needed to attend to school requirements, there are just some things that I wasn't able to enjoy anymore. Or at least not as much.
(I feel like my writing style is super immature but who cares! If in your head you somehow thought to yourself: "I care", then... too bad for you! HAHA)
I think one thing I was most deprived of during the school year was sleep. Well, maybe I wasn't really the most sleep deprived person in our batch--my brother would always complain that I was sleeping too much for a med student. So yeah, I probably slept more than I deserved. (Sue me!) But I still honestly think that I was, for most of the time, not getting enough sleep. And I guess the fact that I was always sleepy is proof? Anyway, my point is that during the summer, sleep is something readily available. And maybe even taken for granted. Aww... Poor sleep :(
However! More than the sleeping, what I think I was also very much deprived of during the school year is the "Wake up slooow,,, mmmhmmm... wake up slow..." No! Not banana pancakes! LULZ. What I mean is that I was deprived of the luxury of waking up slow. Waking up, sleepily smiling to the risen sun, and spending a few minutes to just lay in bed and enjoy the act of "waking up"! Plenty of times during the school year, I'd spend a decent number of hours sleeping, but would wake up panicking and rushing to "finish studying" or to get ready for school. It's like the stress of waking up would negate all the energy I regained while I was sleeping. But now that it's summer, waking up is such a joy! It doesn't matter if I only spent 4 hours sleeping, waking up to "nothing" still gives me that warm and fuzzy feeling. And besides, I can always go back to sleep later if i choose to! And I usually do.
Summer is great:)
