Eager Beaver

..is never the correct way to describe me. I don't jump up and down just to please someone or to do school work for that matter. I don't do cartwheels to be appointed as anything in a class or club. I'm not built that way. I procrastinate longer than my willingness to do things in advance. I don't enjoy being the early worm for anything. I don't find pleasure in being told what to do or volunteer to do something. I have a brain that finds eagerness as a virus. It should be deleted.

Here in medical school, I think they prefer a class of eager beavers to (for the lack of a better metaphor) a procrastinating sloth. I don't think you'd get anywhere if you consider yourself to be the latter. So, I'm trying to be a reformed sloth. Trying to throw cramming away, trying to volunteer for certain things. Keyword: trying. I actually find it hard because I've been a "sloth" all my life that the fast paced life of eagerness is wearing me out too early in the game. I usually feel the butt load of stress at the end of the week and not all throughout. Then again, that stress was always too much. A weekend was never enough to make up for sleep debt. Maybe changing my old ways for this school year will do me good. After all, I am getting satisfactory grades (although I'm aiming for something higher this time). Hopefully I don't get tired of this trial lifestyle.

Eager beaver is never the correct way to describe me. But for the love of medicine, I will try to be an eagerly-reformed sloth.(if that is possible)
