Nerves

Surgery starts Monday, and I'm getting anxious. It's just 8 weeks with one week dedicated to study and another to elective. I'm aware my biggest weakness is a tendency to be quiet, and it has been reiterated quite a few times that it's frowned upon. I've been preparing myself to be more comfortable with being wrong, critiqued, and uncertain-- though I'm not sure how much preparation is effective. I expect to be tested a few times in some intense circumstances, and I hope I can slow down enough to react positively. Operation extrovert is in effect.

It's going to be pretty taxing, but I hope I can keep the energy level up for a full day's worth of interaction. So that when I come home, I can revel in being alone and study.
