Almost...


...free

For the past 3 weeks, we have been stuck in the library, arriving when it's dark and leaving when it's dark, easily clocking over 10 hours per day. Every day except Sundays and public holidays, we would study, study and study some more.. Straight out of 24 weeks of intensive clinical postings, with at most a 1 week break somewhere amidst.

We whine, we complain, we swear, we lose our tempers, we pull our hairs with frustration and desperation. Yet everyday, every one of us would wake up and face the battle again.

For this is the path we have chosen.

And at 11.30am tomorrow, we shall be free of duty, of responsibility, of intensive mental work-outs, of mangled sleep-wake cycles, of stress-induced ailments (cough, rhinitis, eczema, gastritis, diarrhoea, back aches, neck aches, insanity etc..)...

At least, for a while..
