If I could only remember where I put that box of motivation...

It is amazing how quickly my motivation wanes.  Last week I was so motivated - I made study schedules.  I was really jazzed about keeping up and not getting behind.  Ha. Ha.  None of that happened.    I did, however, have a great weekend with my husband.   We had a nice homemade breakfast on Saturday, bathed the dogs, went to Wal-Mart, watched TV, went to dinner at Parish, and then went to see The King’s Speech.  The King’s Speech was a really good movie and surprisingly funny.  On Sunday we went to the gym, to church, and to lunch at a Napoli style pizza restaurant we had been wanted to try. (I love Pizza!)  It was a really great weekend.  I was so happy spending time with my husband.  However, with a Large Animal Anatomy test on Wednesday there should have at least 4-8 hours a day of studying thrown in there.   Oops.
Vet school is exhausting.  I used to work 80 hours a week in a high stress situation, late into the night, weekends.  School has the same stress and the same hours, but in contrast, it never quits - there is never a moment of mental peace. You need to study every free minute and sleep less to get A’s. Every time you choose to attend a family event, go to the gym, or see a friend, you do so knowing that you are sacrificing GPA points for that experience.  I don’t want to live the next 3.5 years wondering where my life went, so sometimes you just have to have a great weekend.
