琐碎

When I was in the medical school, I was ambitious, and I often thought of a big project in my mind, imagining that I would carry out a significant undertaking.

The washing of hair and bodies of patients made me feel not only like a babysister, but made me weary, perplexed, vacillant, and shrinking.
