I've been on this buzz for the last 3 months at least. I'm not sure why. I can think of a few reasons actually. It's been really nice, but I think it's over now. At least to a degree.
I had my skull practicum on Thursday, and I presented my problem set synopsis. I felt deflated for the rest of the day. The whole presentation thing made me realize that I am not over my life-long fear of public speaking. I thought I was. My voice noticeably trembled and I lost my train of thought more than once. Also, I was so flustered that I missed the easiest foramens on the practicum. I should have studied harder for instead of spending so much time on the problem sets. It was worth more, and it's supposedly the easiest one. I realized that I really need to be putting more effort into this class than I have been. But I'm ready to. I'm actually really excited about it. It will be hard, but it will be worth it.
Anyway, the hardest part will be reviewing all of my past anatomy stuff and retaining it so I can think more on instincts when doing my problem sets, but I'm going to make sure I go to a lot more of the lab reviews from now on. They have them every day, although on some days they only have them in the morning, and I have class. But I should be able to make it to quite a few, and then I'll be in the right mind-set.
I think that will restore my former state of mind. I like being happier, and I refuse to stop now solely in the interest of being a slacker.
