i've come to the realization that at no point am i likely to become motivated to study for boards (or that any such sense of urgency will present itself at too late an hour to be considered useful. presently, we're at T minus 53 days and counting). armed with that conclusion and an uncharacteristic moment of clarity and reason, i decided that i would exile myself to a two month world of unhappy productivity. i am not driven to such a place by a feeling dread or apprehension. i don't give a damn about boards. i think i could probably pass them tomorrow if i had to. and it has nothing to do with residency. i have no respect for residencies that are all about high board scores. i hereby allow any of you to shoot me through the back of my head with a handgun if i ever start talking about wanting to do ENT, ophtho, or derm. really, i just have nothing better to do, so i might as well do well. you know, give me something to brag about. something to flaunt. since i dont have boobs.
(at this point, i should probably relate my test detestation. well, most of you would want only to read the abstract.
ABSTRACT: tests are like monopoly. being good at monopoly doesn't mean you understand how money works. it means you know how monopoly works. (also you probably roll well, but that's not my point. my point is that a thorough understanding of the parameters, both spoken and their unspoken corollaries, under which the game operates allows one to approach a game with the greatest ability to succeed)
INTRODUCTION: stop reading, comma)
having displaced myself to this impermanent internment, i have stumbled upon a place of surprising tranquility. perhaps this is the peace of an isolated and determined mind. however, my social disconnect is as evident as ever. i find conversations invariably tedious and stilted (usually this privilege is reserved for blonde girls that i find annoying. wait, i should draw a Venn diagram)
