Last weekend I had the excitement of staying in the Washington Hospital. The nurses were amazing, and so were the doctors. I have a current issue with the lack of white blood cells, but no reason to worry. Overall, the visit was like a vacation. This is when I realized that I have been pushing myself way too hard. I know that great grades are important, but for someone in my situation, it isn't the world. I now realize that I should sleep in on my Tuesday and Thursdays or days off. I shouldn't wake up at 7am to do extra reading. Yes, the scholars probably think I should do that. But, my body and doctors think differently. I realized after the rush to the ER this weekend, life is too short. Thankfully, my body gave me a warning before it just decided to quit. I didn't enjoy giving blood at 4am every morning nor did I love the fact of eating only jello, but I am glad I got a little wake-up call. Life is too short to not take care of your body.
I am a cancer survivor and a graduate student. I see life slightly different from other people. This blog will be of my journey and what I find interesting along the way.
