29: Life As I Know It

Right in front of me here at Starbucks is a group of male adults, each with a PSP in hand. They're having the time of their lives playing something involving guns and bombs and blood, and I'm here being envious of them and having my usual dose of med school toxicity.

Although it's hard to accept at times, this is the life I chose--a life rid of Friday nights of video gaming but one involving new highlighters every two to three weeks, numerous photocopied books and readings left unread (too much info, so little time huhu), daily doses of coffee, tea or energy drink, and an exponentially increasing girth.

Ah, life.
