Reset or Renewed Interest?

Posted on September 20, 2012

I’m doing well this Semester and feel like I’m understanding concepts, systems and pathophysiology much better. Is the second time the charm, or do I just have a great memory for concepts?

Perhaps a little of both, but having more time to myself, is a gift I am cherishing. I miss my friends, who have moved on to the next level. I don’t however, miss the drama that came with some of them. You know, those attention/emotion vampires, who suck the energy right out of you, but don’t seem to have time to listen when you want to vent.

I thought I’d learned how to spot them in college (in the late 80s/90s), but now that I’m back in school, I fell back into the “trap.” So, maybe it is a blessing to be in class with people I don’t have a close relationship with. It’s much easier to play the role of “loner,” this way.
