Another day, another hospital placement where I pretend I can hear the murmur the consultant is going on about
Some updates
The end of my summer break is coming (un?)fortunately so i thought i'd pop in and write some stuff that has been on my mind!
i've been running more or less regularly since the beginning of my summer break and it's so nice to know that i'm able to run for a few minutes without stopping. i've tried to get into it loads of times before but it never stuck. i've been doing the couch to 5k programme and i think that's the thing that really helped me. it's good for my brain to have stuff already written out for me so that i don't have to even think about how long my run will be
i didn't really have anything to do this summer and my head is still a mess. which probably means that being overworked is not the root of the problem unfortunately :(
i'm already overwhelmed and the semester hasn't even started yet. i don't know how i'm going to do all of the reading for my classes once they actually start. i still have a lot of pre class prep to do so should really get on that
Reflections
Here is something that's been sitting in my drafts for a while:
And while this might have felt true at the moment, it's not. Or at least it's not 100% true.
you're not doing the bare minimum because you're lazy. you're doing the bare minimum because you tried to do it all and when the wave of depression hit you you fell back on what you know. and the bare minimum is still a lot at this sort of time
you're doing yourself and your patients no service when you beat yourself up for not remembering everything that you're apparently supposed to know by now
you actually remember more than you think you do. sometimes it just takes reading through something again and it comes back to you. maybe it'd be nice to go through your flashcards from the previous years once in a while
the last paragraph is just plain bullshit. you remember so much after just going through your flashcards 2 or 3 times. you're overwhelmed and that's okay
you sometimes need more time than other people. you also sometimes need to do really silly stuff to help yourself stay on track. that doesn't mean you're stupid or that you don't belong where you are. just plan ahead and make sure that all of your needs are met

honestly will never forget this older client we had who told me how her life had gotten so much better with time and age and asked how old I was and when I told her I was 28, she said I was just a baby and reassured me I had so much time ahead of me and how much better it'll get as I grow into my life. There was such an indescribable amount of love and hope in that single interaction I think I'll hold it with me forever.

I've done quite a few practice questions but there is still a fair bit left to be done today. I made onion soup and it was amazing! I started cleaning the bathroom but i didn't get to finish everything.
vacillating with the resignation that ~productivity propaganda~ is harmful and the desperation to make progress on my goals (which takes time dedicated specifically to productivity)
my desire to learn spanish does stem from the fact that i would have more job options, but that doesn't mean the effort is an acquiescense to the capitalist productivity hellscape. living in an oppressive society whilst trying to maintain autonomy from it, etc etc etc
