Its the End of the Summer

Those are the lyrics to a great punk rock song I used to love in high school. And every year when early August rolls around, it gets stuck in my head for a few days. This year, I have never been more excited to see the end of the summer come!! We just finished summer finals. Now we only have a really light load (three easy classes with no tests) for the next couple weeks, until August 21st when our fall semester starts.

Then we'll study a few more weeks, take a few more tests, and the didactic year will be OVER!! I am really glad because- well, one of the reasons I never write on here is that exciting things have been few and far between. Hopefully, the uneventful, predictable and reclusive part of life will be over when we start working in the hospitals and clinics, and more interesting things to write about will start happening. ("The new phone book is out! The new phone book is out! Things are going to start happening to me now...")

Here's to the nearing of the end of one of the most difficult 17 months ever.
57 out of 68 weeks finished.
84% complete. 16% left to go. Bring it on! And let us be rid of it!

On the other hand, Erin, this is probably the first time in your life you have actually been intellectually CHALLENGED and had to dig deep. So that's a good thing. And you will succeed.

If a task is once begun,
Never leave it till it's done,
Whether it be great or small,
Do it well,
Or not at all.
