I have always gotten by on minimal effort. Of course, my "minimal" effort is somewhat subjective and some people might beg to disagree. I breezed through kindergarten, grade school, high school and to my utter surprise and amazement, college, with the highest honors.
(I am proud to say that I was a nursery drop-out which makes me sound less nerdy and more cool.)
But right now, I am not measuring up to my own standards. Medical school has been an eye opener. And instead of kicking myself in the butt, my own natural tendency to breeze through prevailed. Bad habits die hard.
I fail at being obsessive compulsive. I honestly wish I were. (Just a wee bit. Not enough to be classified mental.)
I still managed to get really good grades. But they weren't excellent. At least by my own standards.
Board exam is in twelve days and I have spent the weekend doing "constructive relaxation". I need to shake myself by the scruff of my neck and yell in my ear, "Get to work, Lazybones! There's a chance you're going to fail. Don't be arrogant!"
Ok. Back to work.
