sitting for the boards in two days and finding myself much different from when i sat the mbbs finals twenty-one years ago... for one thing, gone is the energy for the single-minded focus and frenetic review. gone too the diaphoretic palpitations. in their stead, imperatives that will not be put off: organizing our trip next week, getting the Js their summer reading books, getting Dog his bordetella jab, warring the weeds in the front yard, creating a menu for tonight. perhaps because i have finally started to grasp the fact that life is not all about me.
now the Js would like me to grasp that life is also not all about them, and hound them less about their own exams.
