Unwelcomed Anticipation

The new year brings with it what is to hopefully be my second last year of uni.  Frankly, I do not think that I would like to come back.

Most of us (me included), begin the new year with personal goals and an idea of what we'd like to achieve for the year. I tend to have about 4-5 goals a year, but this new year, my mind is superseded by one thought: uni. All because my friends in the health science field and our teachers have warned us - the second last year of the course is the most difficult. We need to know everything before we launch into our final clinical year. As if I didn't already find the past two year challenging enough already!
I can't help but stress about what is to come. I worry about how I am going to handle all of it - not just the readings, assignments and oral exams; but the clinic sessions too. Especially the clinical sessions. Last year I was so nervous at my first clinic session - and that was just a history and exam. This time, it's endo and fixed pros - things that you can permanently destroy.

My main goal of the year is to pass uni. Just two more years.

But.
I just don't want uni to dominate my whole life. I know it is a big part of my life right now, but I just need some balance. Or an attempt for some sort of balance. I don't know. Some fun time? Me time? I want to take in my surroundings more. To just enjoy what is around me. Like watching more sunsets or something (or people watch more?). And NOT through a camera lens. Sometimes I am too caught up in wanting to take the ultimate photo that I miss real life through my own eyes even though it is right in front of me.

So that is it,

Goals of the year:
1. Pass uni
2. Enjoy my surroundings through my own effing eyes.

okay.
Until next time :)
