Sympathy Pains

My boyfriend sent me this e-mail the other day.

Hey Baby,

Last night i made the horrible mistake of eating right before I went to bed and I had a really messed up nightmare. I had to take some kind of test for which I was completely unprepared. I think that it may have been one of your finals. The test was in two parts which were objective and essay. To worsen the situation there was not enough room in the lecture hall and I was one of the unfortunates who had to take the test outside. Of course the day was quite windy. I spent most of the time chasing papers all around the courtyard. And by the time the professor called "time!" I had finished about one tenth of the exam. If I were to read into this, I'd say that my unconscious was telling me that I'm not working hard enough for the upcoming audition. Ok better get crackin'.

Love you,

Taz

I was highly amused and have to say that I have had nightmares like this about my exams too. I haven't had one yet this semester, but the one I had last semester was so vivid that I actually could feel the pit in my stomach and the adreniline pumping when I woke up.

I talked to my mom today and she was asking about medical school applications. I told her I was going to apply to D.O. schools along with M.D. schools and I think she was surprised. She said that I should not spend time on the D.O. school applications at a sacrafice to the M.D. school applicaitons - like going to D.O. school is beneith me or something. Again, because I am always right, I believe that by applying to D.O. schools, I'm being realistic about my chances of getting into medical school and am trying to open doors so that I have options later. I think she is being too optimistic about this whole medical school thing. It's just like a mom to think that her daughter can do anything. I guess it's a sign of support and love. I'll take it for that and no more.

I'm about to head back to the library where Blondie has reserved me a spot at her table. It's so nice having friends who will take care of you. I should probably stay till closing time tonight, but I'm not sure I want to spend 10 strait hours in the library. No doubt I will post again toward the end of my evening.
