Thoughts from ME

My final english paper is an analysis of an analysis of a short story or poem that I know well...The only things I can find to write my paper on are articles that are 13-21 pages long! Insert scream of aggrivation here... The Yellow Wallpaper is a short story by Charlotte Gilman who at age 26 died of a mental illness then diagnosed as "nervous prostration" - an illness only diagnosed to women. The story is about the escape of a woman from her gender role in the eighteenth century only to fall ito complete madness - showing her choice of madness over supression. The article which I will be scrutinizing is entitled, "Gilman's Gothic Allegory: Rage and Redemption in the Yellow Wallpaper." http://web.ebscohost.com/ehost/pdf?vid=20&hid=6&sid=0faadec4-9708-4e5c-a442-00c731631b69%40SRCSM1

From Omaha, NE

The idea for this blog post comes from a blog I occasionally read called The Freckled Fox . She calls these posts "Taking Stock": Seeing: all the dogs sleeping, a nephew playing, ceiling fans turning, grey clouds. Making: an effort to not disappear into the bedroom I'm staying at while in Nebraska with family (kids'll do that to me) Cooking: nothing. Since I'm visiting family in Omaha, I haven't done much cooking. But while here I have made my absolute favorite PB cookies which are easy and delicious Drinking: sooooo much water - still not enough Reading: a guide for everything you need to know about medical school and Pushkin's Eugene Onegin Hearing: the pot on the stove cooking the bottles which contain my SIL Nicole's homemade spaghetti sauce Wanting: the next year to speed by - I am tired of fretting about med school applications and would like the whole thing finished - please? Looking: forward to visiting the zoo to...

getting to and through YEAR ONE

Hello? Oh, Hello there! I am excited to talk more about my summer as I enjoy the last few days before I dive into studying hard. It is almost the beginning of the second year of medical school. Last year was one of the hardest years of my life. I experienced more pain, suffering, doubt, tears, and heartache than I have ever before in such large doses. I staggered under the weight of my fears and found myself often on my knees with no where else to turn. It was a beautiful place to find myself. Of course it is easy to say that now, looking back as I stand proud. There was a lot that went into my decision to go to medical school. Ultimately it took a lot of prayer and a lot of planning. It took a lot of service hours, a lot of hard work in my undergrad, a lot of conversations with my mother. It was a grueling process which no one can understand until you've been through it. I often doubted I was making the right choice. As I was preparing for the MCAT, which is the entr...
