musings from a couch potato

It’s been a long time since I last placed an entry in my blog. I’ve since finsihed med school, gone through the horror of reviewing for and taking the boards, and acquired my MD! So now that I have some time to kill before holding an 8-5 (or 24-hr) job and taking my MLE’s, I’ve decided to enrich myself and broaden my horizons. I’ve read several books (including How to Find Your One True Love by Bo Sanchez; lesson learned:God helps those who help themselves),watched DVDs of movies I missed during internship and boards season, learned some new exercise routines, and took up yoga. If only I started yoga while in med, I think I would’ve coped better. For at least 20 minutes, I forget all worries as I concentrate on doing the poses. Why, why can;t I be more flexible? But part of it is accepting one’s limitations and being patient. Maybe in time, I will be able to fully contort myself.
Oh, the sweet joy of being a bum! Alas, yoga sessions end and one’s life resumes. My days of bliss will soon be over and I’d have to review like crazy again and find a source of moolah. Good thing I’ll still have my 20 minutes of calm…
