These Days

These days I find myself with a lot more time to think. Applications to med schools have been submitted. Orgo, quite obviously, is now over. I am really really glad about that part. Not really my cup of tea. One thing that I miss is the ability to sit down with friends and talk to them when they're having a hard time. My approach to this whole issue in college was that I should never be too busy to talk to a friend who absolutely needed someone to talk to. Whether it meant staying up another hour or getting up earlier to finish assignments, I wanted to be there for them. And, for the most part, I think I was able to do that. However, I find that it's harder these days because I live far away, I work "real people" hours, meaning that I need to wake up early, and I'm quite tired by the time I get home. I'd still like to be there for my friends. I'm trying to think of ways to be creative and still be there for them. Ideas would be greatly appreciated...
