The back stretch

Exam week is finally here, but the weekend preceeding was full of grumbling; phrases could be heard echoing through the hospital corridors such as, "I gave up my twenties for this..."

The hospital is literally over-run by med students, sloughing out the final back stretch of the marathon--the marathon through quick-sand. Even the the ladies at the mall eatery, and Starbucks can pick us out of the normal population, purely by visual cues--disheveled, exasperated looking folk we are. We order food to the hospital, we bring our computers, we play music to assuage our poor flogged brains.

The end is now in sight--only four more days of being hospital squatters!
