It's That Time Of Year

Hi Everyone!

I took my Anatomy shelf this morning at 8:00 AM. What a disaster! That shelf exam was MUCH more difficult than I thought it would be. BUT, I'll talk about this next time when I write about the Shelf exams. 

So, I'm now studying for Mini 3. I, personally, HATE studying in silence. Silence drives me crazy - especially when I'm studying. When I was in college, I made a "study" playlist. I use the same playlist every time I study. I just kind of keep it in the background at a low volume. But, it's that special time of the year so I've swapped my "Study" playlist for a "Christmas" one. The effects of the swap have been incredible. The Christmas season is my favorite time of year and hearing the music has definitely put me in that Christmas spirit. The music floods my brain with thoughts of going home and finally getting a break from a very long year. Therefore, I'm motivated more than ever to keep studying and finish strong. 

With that in mind, I thought I'd share my playlist with you all. Whether you'd like to listen to it while you're studying, working, or just hanging out, I hope the music will have the same effect on you that it's had on me. Just remember, this year is almost over and the new year will begin soon enough. Every new year brings the opportunity to start fresh and put the previous year behind you. So, listen to the music and get in that Christmas spirit!! After all, there's so much to be thankful for - even when you're stuck in another country ... living a non-life ... miles away from home.
