Med school now taking over dreams?

So i was taking a power nap today....and then all of a sudden i'm driving my car and an 18 wheeler is on my tail, and then it taps me, and in the dream, i think to myself "oh man, here come my sympathetics" and without a doubt (in real life) my heart rate started increasing. I then started to have some flashing anime in my head (yeah, i know that's weird, i'm not into anime, and i'm not asian or anything, really just weird) and then i forced myself up. I was actually conscious at the time that if i opened my eyes it would all be over, otherwise it would likely continue with flashes of anime.

I'm thinking subconsciously my body told me to wake up so that I could study (It was only 7 PM), so now I think about med school stuff, such as sympathetics, even in my dreams. I wonder if I will be like this when I'm in a real life situation where something similar happens.

Anyways, I was reenergized though right afterwards. I then went for a run and am now at Beaner's coffee shop getting a decent bit of studying done. Maybe one day this respiratory physiology will make sense.

Been a long time

So I realize that it's been many months since my last post. I guess its a good thing I didn't have too many regular readers, otherwise people may have gotten pissed.

Well, what has happened over the past few months? Well, I finished semester one of med school, came back to school, and the economy has been a little rocky. Every day that I go to class I keep on thinking how good its gonna be when we get to go to the hospital and aren't in class all day long.

This semester has been different for sure. We seem to spend less time in actual class, usually start around 10, but everything just seems either more difficult to understand or is taught less effectively. But whatever, I will get through it because I have to.

In other news, I am trying to wrap up my summer plans which will hopefully consist of India, Europe, and a project in New York or Michigan. Everyone seems to put a lot of emphasis on these "experiences" for CV's and residencies, I guess I will try to get them.

And that's the Gulati Opinion...
