Hi Everyone! It's finals week for the non-medical school campus - I am currently in between my two final exams (just finished my Chinese exam) and will then be free for the holidays! I'm not going far, but I'm happy to have the chance to sleep in a bit more.
Sadly, my holidays won't be quite as work-free as I had originally hoped (I have far too much that needs to be done on my prelims paper and for my research), but I'm looking forward to being able to work without rushing off to the next activity (and sneak in a Christmas cookie or two).
The weather lately has been quite nice - we've barely been below freezing since the 15-inch snowfall the week before Thanksgiving (don't worry - Ann Arbor only got 8 inches and it soon melted). Galens Tag Days have come and gone - us med students definitely appreciated the slightly warmer temps. After all, the hand warmers stood a chance (my first year it was so cold the hand warmers wouldn't activate)!
Most of all, the holiday season is a chance to reflect on the past year, look at how far we've come, and realize that, while there's still a mountain of work yet to be done, there's plenty of hope for a sunny future. Happy Holidays everyone!
