Symptoms of Medschoolitis

I haven’t worked out in over a month. Before med school, I used to work out five times a week.
Pathology, med micro, and physio are major topics of discussion when I talk to Irene every night.
I think it’s fun when Irene quizzes me over my class notes.
I have trouble sleeping at night because I feel like I haven’t done enough studying for the day.
I’ve become more and more antisocial.
My MP3 player has more lecture recordings than music.
I don’t feel relaxed traveling anymore.
Going to the beach is not fun anymore without my notes.
Med school is all I blog about now…
I treat myself to school cafeteria food if I feel happy.
I’m actually excited that campus is empty on Friday nights and Saturday mornings so I can have entire study rooms for myself.
I wear my lab coat when I’m cold… when I’m not in lab.
I talk to my cat. I don’t care if she understands me or not.
My room is a mess, but my class notes are so organized.
