keep going

don't want to sound like a broken recorder, or to constantly wallow but was feeling tired (haha, who doesn't). was clerking a patient that day and she said she was tired all the time and reg and i kinda exchanged a knowing look like 'omg, tell me about it' because he'd worked the last 10 days with no day off, i'm just a weaksauce medical student adjusting to long hours. we're all tired all the time and not feeling 100%. in fact i was checked for presenting back that the patient 'didn't feel well'  without going into specifics because according to the reg, no one feels well at any given point, there's always something wrong? bit negative but more common than one would think. anyway was encouraged by this article to press on, that the temporary stasis is temporary. keep reminding myself to count my blessings, that i'm fortunate to get a second bite of the university cherry and to be on the way to becoming a doctor. it's really the last push and yes it's not going to get easier but i rather do this than anything else. 

loved the conclusion - too good not to share

When you’re tired, go slowly. Go quietly. Go timidly. But do not stop. You are tired for all the right reasons. You are tired because you’re supposed to be. You’re tired because you’re making a change. You are exhausted for all the right reasons and it’s only an indication to go on. You are tired because you’re growing. And someday that growth will give way to the exact rejuvenation that you need.
