Tonight closes another long week. I was supposed to spend five or six hours studying after class today, but Eboni and I went for our booster dose of Moderna today. The dose has done a number on me; I started feeling chills and fever around 5 PM and I slept on and off until 8. SO, I didn’t do anything. Just means that I have a 12-hour day ahead of me on Saturday and Sunday. It’s all good…
I’ve written about this before, how to deal with people who aren’t on your team. It always hurts when the people who are standing against you are family though. Last week, my sister drove down to visit and last Sunday night, she and Eboni had some girl time to chat. Shawna was incredulous that Eboni would “let” me attend medical school at my age and she went on to give unsolicited advice (as she frequently does) and then ended the conversation by saying, “I am praying that Daryl does not make it through medical school.” Wow. Eboni was incensed and wanted to get in Shawna’s shit but I just told her that it’s better that we know where she stands so that we can put her in the category that she should be in regarding her place in our lives. It always hurts when family and friends stand against you, but I always say that what God has set in motion, no one can stop unless you let them. To those of you reading this, do not let ANYONE keep you from your dreams, even if they are family. Please, keep walking the path that God has for you.
Last week, we dove into the topics of lifestyle medicine, immunology, and microbiology. My plan is to spend 12 hours tomorrow catching up on the last two weeks work and on Sunday, I want to spend half a day reviewing anatomy and the other half reviewing. Previous materials. I have about a week and a half to two weeks to get everything locked down for final exams.
