This is my favourite time of year to be studying and revising. Why? Because there is much less pressure and fear than closer to exams. Plus, with the weather being as it is (i.e. the start of Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere), I can sit outside on the deck with my books, a coffee or a drink (caffeinated, not alcoholic!) and enjoy the view of the my yard, the trees and the mountains while I ruminate on the joys of the pathophysiology of infectious diseases and other fun things.
Yes, it is damn hard to be a medical student at the moment! ;)
Sometimes I wonder how I am ever going to cope with returning to full-time work. Then I remember - money! Oh, and contributing to society/paying off my debts and mortgage/new car/saving lives/other stuff, too.

I'm excited about the change in season, too! I can't wait to go out to our yard and spread out on the grass! :) It's so much nicer than in front of my computer...
i totally hear you. i think about that sometimes-how now if you really really need to take off class to get some errands done, you can do that. Or if you feel like crap you can stay home and study all day instead of going in. But once we start training, we can forget about flexibility! ah.
Oh well, e - think of the money. ;)
Hehe, I'm with you: this time of year is just wonderful for the stress levels. May you continue to feel this way as the year progresses! I hope you're feeling well soon.

Speak for yourself! 4 weeks till finals, arghhhhh
Whilst over here, the march to finals continues and intensifies, as the weather heats up. Gut-wrenching being at the desk when the bike is parked outside and itching to head into the country.
Good luck with your exams.
