Halloween

So tonight is Halloween and I am on the premed101 forums looking up different medical school admission topics. I feel like part of me should put that and homework on hold because of today, but I really have no desire to put it on hold, it is my life and it consumes me. I think about medicine all the time and can't stop, even during holidays and special events.

A couple years ago when I was a caregiver, I was asked to work during Christmas break. That would have meant not going home to see my family because I was working in Vancouver and my family events are on Vancouver Island. I was very ready to work during Christmas, because I felt that is what was needed to be done. I ended up quitting that job for a different reason, and never had to work during Christmas, but I was more than ready to. That situation reminds of tonight.

But I don't drink alcohol anymore so I feel a bit limited in my Halloween opportunities. I don't mind though, because I have a lot of homework to do. Maybe I'll get the highest mark on the sexuality midterm because other people were out and about and I was in studying.

However, I might do something fun tonight by going to a Langara basketball game. I usually watch UBC play and I know a couple people on the team, but I have a friend on the Langara team too. The game is probably only going to be 1.5 - 2 hours long. It shouldn't take away too much time from studying.

I wanted to go back to Vancouver Island this weekend but I think I should save the time and stay in Vancouver and study and do my papers instead. I took a break last night to watch the NFL and NHL because it was the end of my week. I'm glad I did because both of my teams won! There are 2 hockey games and 1 NFL game I'd like to watch this weekend but I think I'll pass on them and do school work instead. I really need to finish at least one of my essays this weekend and also study for my quiz, midterm, and final.

I'm getting nervous just thinking of my final.
