Hey marathoners and people who run, like, 10K's,
Do the last few yards make you feel like you want to finish because you're happy and proud to have made it this far? Or is it more that you want to finish because if the aggravation kills you dead on the spot, while that would be a blessed relief it would also mean you won't have the pleasure of saying "I'm never doing THAT again"?
Oh, there's good news too. I had my white-coat ceremony, so my own classmates were looking like the stylized figures in the header image. We got to take a practice version of the national boards exam I'll do a little more than a year from now, after I've graduated. I passed. I was actually a touch above the class average. In theory, then, the real boards should be just fine.
But who wants to concentrate on the positive stuff? I'm tired, finals are next week, and sitting in a chair looking at PowerPoint presentations for a year has helped me gain 10 to 15 pounds. I'd rather be ONLY concentrating on the wedding (yayy!).
Anyway, that's my deal. Big fun coming up.

At work, I'm a respectable professional. On my blog... slightly less so.
About Me
- Febrifuge
- Here's the logline: I'm a Gen-X'er, a trained actor/writer, a former cubicle monkey, and I'm using all that as prelude to my newly-minted medical career as a PA-C. This blog covers educational, personal, and pop-cultural areas of interest, to me and presumably to the handful of people who read it. I graduated in 2009 from a very good PA school (that would be Physician Assistant, please note the lack of an apostrophe-s), and therefore much of the adventure has to do with maintaining speed up a steep learning curve.

Yay for you, and best wishes that the wedding is smooth, beautiful and fun!
You'd be amazed how everything in your life gets better when your a famous celebrity, like me for instance. When you are feeling stressed I recommend watching a Hollywood movie with me in it. Then you can live vicariously through my great awesomeness.
