Too much going on all the time

There's never a dull moment in grad school. And by dull moment, I mean a minute to myself when nothing's going on. All day every day I find that I'm just doing the same thing I did before. My life has become so monotonous. I wake up in the morning (feeling like P Diddy - well just this past weekend not on class days), get ready for class, sit through class, eat lunch, sit through some more class, study at the library, come home, eat dinner, go to sleep, and start the whole process again. My biggest decisions of the day include: whether or not I should study before class or what I should eat for lunch. It just gets so boring and predictable.

I've never really thought of myself as predictable before, but since grad school started, I do the same thing over and over again. And I get it. My job as a student has become this predictable pattern and I guess I'll get over it within the next two years. I just used to be spontaneous and really miss the freedom and flexibility of undergrad.

I know in two more years I'll be glad to be through the program and I'll finally get to practice as an Occupational Therapist, I just wish so many sacrifices weren't involved. Grad school should really come with a warning label: "will forfeit life for textbooks" or something of the sort.

At least for now, Anatomy is over. I finally finished (and passed no less) and we started two other classes in addition to the other semester long one. Neuro and Therapeutic Media. 7 weeks down and 7 weeks to go! Until then I'll be counting down the days until Thanksgiving and Christmas Break.

***Two side notes. I had an amazing weekend with my friends in Richmond. Picture of the week:

Lots of fun, food, and laziness.

Second thought - My dad saw this bumper sticker and thinking of my strong dislike towards Obama, sent it to me in a text. I need one for my car.
