How to finish my second semester at AAAOM
How I did it: There were some ups and downs, but for the most part, I made it through my second semester with my enthusiasm still intact. Going to school for Chinese medicine is HARD. I don't care what you say. To the rest of the world, we holistic health people might all be seen as new-age hippies, but I have studied harder for these classes than I ever did as an undergrad at a well-respected private college. I feel like I've learned so much, but the most important things I learned were how to study, how to get better at managing my time, how to step out of my comfort zone and touch people, and how to ask for help or advice when I need it.
Lessons & tips: I have a whole bag of tricks that I will continue to add to as a I get closer to graduation. But the best advice is just to avoid taking on too much. Knowing my limits from the outset is the only way I've been able to keep my sanity and get decent grades.
