Oh boy, isn't that the age-old question. It's currently 1:31 P.M. at Starbucks. I have my Family Medicine shelf exam tomorrow. I have finished all my UWorld Family Medicine and Ambulatory questions. I only need to review them, as well as take an NBME assessment. For the past 12 hours that I have been awake, I have been avoiding studying. For some reason, I suddenly starting feeling anxious. I was doing so well, too! I had therapy yesterday and felt good. However, at the present moment I am feeling alone, scared, stressed, and worried about studying. I think writing here will help me feel better...I think/hope. Heh. At least there is hope. Okay. *INHALE* pause...and *EXHALE* I feel a tinge bit better.
Okay. I can do this. I KNOW I can do this. Am I actually hyping myself up? Yes. I am not as anxious or depressed as I was even 2 months ago, let alone 9 months ago. I am powerful. I know that I am. I know I can get this done. So what am I waiting for? Just do it. Okay. Yes. Here we go.
