So this quarter has been busier than the last, but it turns out that what they say about adjusting must be true. Despite having a schedule that somehow has me doing two or three things at once, I've grown accustomed to taking advantage of every free moment to complete work...
This isn't to say that I've become the ultimate study-aholic and stopped having any sort of life whatsoever. I do, on occasion, sacrifice work and all other responsibilities to enjoy a few minutes (or even an hour!) under the (sometimes) sunny sky (key phrase here: don't let unimportant things [like work] become important). I intend on retaining my status of not being sick too (I've been healthy since I've come to Stanford!).
Sleep has also become something I value and care for much more now. I actually sacrifice other things for the sake of sleep, instead of the other way around. I am maintaining a somewhat regular schedule of sleep that allows me to get (gasp!) over 7 hours of sleep per night on average! I feel must better for it - I highly recommend this activity to anyone who has even a single negative thought on their mind. Sleep helps you see things in perspective...
Speaking of sleep, I ought to complete my Sleep and Dreams Project due tomorrow so I can get to Sleep!
Ta ta for now,

Thank you SPA for "To Be or Not to be" Panel
Hello,
I just came back from the premed panel, and I loved it! I loved that you hear from a wide spectrum of speakers: a medical student, a surgical resident, a resident ready to enter fellowship, and an experienced clinician. You get these fascinating snapshots of how your future medical experience will look like. I really liked the panelists; they were really nice, and helped me a lot in understanding the medicine today. Dr. Garcia explained pretty well what always bugged me: why would med schools value skills as diverse as English lit to engineering? I liked that they did not just lecture; they made me think, ponder why medicine, why a specialty would interest me.
I also liked the food you guys provide (the lemonade and helpful flyers were great), and just the relaxing atmosphere. (And the premed friendly time that this event was held at)
Thank you so much once again, SPA rocks!
