Last Block

The 5th term party was last night as well as a potluck dinner with a cross section of the classes. It was nice to see everyone in those non-school venues and relaxing together. Besides, the potluck food was great (I brought Macaroni salad). The 5th term party was a "send off" for those about to leave the island.  For the next several months those folks will study and take the USMLE part 1 and then begin rotations in the U.S. and the U.K. They all look relieved, happy and very excited about their futures. They should be. This last block of testing took the wind out a bit. This was recoup weekend with planning for how to get through the last part of the term. Feeling a bit more energized today as I begin to hit the new anatomy, contemplate the other. It is time for that final push toward finals and that is going to require attention to deliberate study on my part. I'm ready.
