Dental Days: 4 Exams + 2 Weeks = No Sleep

Who wants to guess how many times I dozed off while writing this post?


In a Monday filled with Bitcoin dips and heated discussions regarding reward curves, I'm just trying to turn an unplanned all nighter into another productive day of studying.

As a future Dr. I am fully aware of the negative implications associated with sleep deprivation, so I know my body won't fully recover for a few days.

Not really big on all nighters, but somehow with that I believe it to be a message from the heavens I found myself up at 3:50 a.m reviewing my biochemistry notes for a third time!

I must have subconsciously realized I was going to fail if I walked in that room with the, "maybe I'll guess the majority of the answers correct", mentality and full nights rest.

"What's one bad grade going to do", you might be wondering. Well I already cut the check for 100k in tuition for this year, so I don't care if they figure out a way to regenerate your teeth, I'm finishing no matter what and paying that ish back!

That daunting $ amount might be the reason I'm forcing these words on this page, but I'd like to believe that my blog is a form of relief than stress.

This sense of relief has gotten me through the last week of non stop studying, so hopefully I'll be able to mask my struggles here on Steemit for the next two weeks where I'll attempt probably the hardest series of exam for the semester.

The material isn't rocket science, but our course load is stacked with back to back exams with classes, quizzes, and projects in between.

No time to take a breath and enjoy the roses I know, but hard work hasn't failed me yet, so I'll keep the foot on the gas and pray I don't hit E!

Hope everyone has a good rest of their Mondays and remember, no matter how bad a situation might seem, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel!

Very true! I’ll try my best, thanks!
