Today looks like... EXCEPT I finished Psych & Soc last night. The last chapter was super annoying! 
Struggling because I feel like I can skip certain chapters, but I’m super paranoid that I will miss one tiny crucial detail that will help me get at least one more question right.

When there is chaos, expect redirection
I stared at my phone screen as I stuggled to breathe; my chest tightening, my mind in a daze as I slowly dissociated from reality. It was a coping mechanism that my body naturally takes up; especially when overwhelmed. My fingers worked quicker than my brain, as I punched the keyboard on my phone; the text reading; “Hey, would 1 more vet i.e. me, be suitable for your practice?”. I hit “send”. 
“Ya the new grad fell through.” the reply read.
“Fell through?”
“She didn’t come ya.”
Well then. 
You see, that first clinic that I was working for was anything any newly graduate veterinarian would hope for. There was a tremendous amount of support, with just the loveliest techs and receptionists. I felt so lucky to be part of the team...or so I thought.
Getting huge support is one thing, but, being constantly watched like a hawk, being judged at every single move you make? That is a different story altogether. 2 weeks in....come 3. Every day, I would feel more and more unlike myself. I felt like a puppet on strings. I would stumble over my words, due to the fear of looking stupid. When you are already so hard on yourself, any single tiny mistake you make, feels devastating and mentally exhausting. 
6 weeks in....was when I decided, that enough is enough. It was a funny story, really, that the sequence of events that occured after, brought me to where I am meant to be today, at my current veterinarian practice. 
2 days before I handed in my resignation letter, I was walking along the streets at night, with slippers. I heard a squeak, and before I knew it, my right big toe was oozing with blood. Ouch. The next thing I knew; was my father frantically trying to dial emergency services, and my mother grabbing my hand, fast-walking me to the nearest clinic. Yes, a rat bit my toe. I’m glad it did; because what followed within the next 2 days was some time off from work to gather my thoughts. I did have a fever, and toileting issues...but those were not exactly clouding my mind. The constant feeling of not being good enough no matter how much energy has drained out of you due to already putting in more than you can physically and emotionally handle? Was this my breaking point? Turns out it was. 
I accepted an interview and day-trial with another veterinary practice not too far from my intial one. They were considering multiple canditates at the time. Oh, and apparently they already hired someone else before, but they didn’t show up on their work day. Everything went smoothly that day, and I was pretty much hired on the spot. Not only that, they were willing to buy me in since I had to give at least a month’s notice to my initial practice unless it was paid forward, but the new practice was hoping that I could report to work the next week. That wasn’t the only thing; they were willing to put me on solo charge. 
Solo charge. Most new veterinary graduates would cringe or shy away from the idea. To be honest, I would have as well, IF I hadn’t had experienced what I experiened at my first practice. This was my chance to experience the opposite end of the spectrum.
Welcome to the deep end, Doc.
Bring it. I accepted the offer. 
2 weeks into my new practice, I have done, single-handedly, all kinds of cases; from itchy skin, to the vomiting dog, the cat with diarrhoea, acute sneezing, coughing, the old Chihuahua with heart failure. Clients were already asking to see me specifically, something that really touched my heart. I felt like I belonged, and valued, where I am now. The number of consults and cases I managed within the first 2 weeks at my new practice was incomparable to the number I did at my previous practice. I felt so like myself, I had the freedom to display empathy towards my clients, provide them with options in terms of treatment and management for their furry friends, and allow them the freedom to choose from those options. I was forming amazing connections, and most of my consults ended up with smiling clients. 
However, there is no doubt that there is always going to be somebody more experienced than me, and knows more than me, but what I also do know, is that we never stop learning. I know when to reach out for help whenever I needed to. The safety, wellbeing and health of my patients and clients are the top-most important factors to me, and I would do everything and anything in my power to ensure that is taken care of. That includes, seeking a secondary opinion, or referal, both of which I have no problems doing whenever I feel that I need to. 
There was one thing though; a client brought in her kitten to see me when I was at my previous practice. Before she left, she turned to me and said, “I really do hope you stay, you’re so good with my cat, I want to see you again the next time I visit.” How bittersweet. I would never forget that client, nor her cat.
I cannot be more thankful for where I am today. The worst thing I could have done to myself because of imposter syndrome, was to give up....and I know for a fact that that isn’t me.

29.12.2023 // i managed to give up on my previous 100 days of productivity, so I'll be restarting it on the 1st january (because who doesn't love a nice fresh start). I've been studying every day and actually have been productive, but posting at the end of each day has been the challenge.

Starting from deciding on a difficult career path to enjoying success in life can be a breathtaking journey in a student’s life. This brings true even in the case of students from the medical field, where they face difficulties coping with examination stress, working hours, parental and peer pressure, etc.

Alright monkebrain, to study, you gotta make yourself accountable. Is that really it?
I do truly believe making yourself accountable is the only study tactic that works. However, it isn't that easy to spring out of bed every other day and head to your library, coffee shop, etc.
This is where all those fancy habit strategy things come into play.
Layering accountability. Example: Tell a study buddy you'll meet them at the library at 8:00
Remove delays. The night before, pack your books, charge your laptop, etc. Minimize the factors that can slow you down on your way out.
Consistent rewards. Might seem kinda stupid, but people are animals like any other, so exploit the fact that you have a monkebrain, take advantage of it. Treat yourself to a nice coffee, a pastry, anything really once you are en route. Because showing up is 95% of the battle.
