Midterms are over. At last. This set spanned almost three weeks, and seemed to require inordinate amounts of study to prepare for and get through. I'm thinking that part of the intensity stemmed from other classes continuing to require the normal amount of focus, quiz prep, etc., during the midterm process. But we have a few days off now, and in spite of the fact that I can always study more, always prepare for upcoming clinic shifts, always try to reinforce energetics or review location or diagnosis, I am looping myself out for a few days. To breathe. To recover. To prepare for the final 6 weeks which are certain to require at least as much energy and attention as the 9 that have preceded them. Namaste, ya'll. Enjoy your 4th of July! -Stevie
