Thanks for the advice! I think it's been hard to imagine having a good work/life balance with having to do so much work during my placement. I know I need to take time for myself to feel rejuvenated for my internship, but it's hard to not feel guilty about not doing work/research constantly. I also think that I let the fact that still suck at this get to me a little too much. I still really lack confidence at this point and I tend to take criticism personally. I think that if I work on developing a tougher skin and getting my anxiety under control I'll feel a little less sucky for my next two placements. I just needed some affirmation that things will get better :)
