md by sea: Post-Midterm Itch

I have this itch. I'm not sure what it is or where it is, but it's definitely there and it's definitely itchy.

Midterms finished last week, meaning this past weekend was free of studying, reviewing lecture notes, writing flashcards, meeting with study groups, and "Gray's Anatomy." It was weird.

I went out to clubs. I ordered margaritas and Carib instead of water and diet coke.

I went to St. Georges. I chatted with the Reggae bus conductor about places to eat in town instead of reviewing lecture notes.

I went to the beach. I left my Netter's flashcards in my dorm room and brought my iPod with me. I bought a Jodi Picoult paperback from IGA to read on the beach.

I slept in. I had time to peruse the James Bond book my friend had sent me for my birthday.

Now, the weekend is over and the slate has been wiped clean. Time to prove yourself again. Classes start in an hour, labs resume next week.
