I'm Free!!

Following seven years of study, loads of essays, coursework, clinical placements, jumping through hoops on the whim of consultants, the government and lecturers and at least three full months of solid revision my final medical exams are over. Providing the results are good on the 14th March I AM FREE!!!! Well at least for the next three weeks anyway.

Over the last six days I have managed to get through a three hour written paper and three clinical exams without going completely insane through the stress (yes I have only gone slightly mad). I now have to survive a week with the knowledge that a a bad result next Friday could ruin the next three months with yet more revision for the resits. However if it is a good result then the next few months will be bliss. Starting with a two week Easter holiday (phew), shortly followed by a six week medical elective in Nepal and then some very relaxed final teaching at uni before I start work in August.

Oh yes, and about that work that starts in August. Despite finding someone that really wanted to swap jobs with me, and a lot of unsuccessful persuading, the powers that be still said "No". It seems I am destined to spend yet another year in London commuting too and from the South....it seems things don't always go the way you want. It just means I will have to look forward to the year after.

Anyhoo...lets not dwell on the depressing....the exams are over!!! WOO!!!
