With the OKAP exam finally out of the way, my life has finally been restored to at least some level of normalcy. With “normal” being a relative term, of course, I was soon back to the daily grind of ER shifts and OR cases. With little time to celebrate or recover. Being on-call for oculoplastics also meant having to round on our inpatient service, which despite its small size, brought back traumatic recollections of internship life. Nevertheless, having spent countless hours learning the vast body of clinical minutia and esoteric pearls, the exam was like a lead weight that was finally lifted off my chest. I was glad to play my part as husband again – cleaning the apartment, helping with laundry, and even made an Ikea run for household items. We also checked out Tim Burton’s re-imaginaton of Alice in Wonderland in 3D, then returned to Ferelden with our party of four to slay the archdemon dragon. Having saved the world once again, we will next embark on Heavy Rain – the highly-anticipated PS3 exclusive that is better described as interactive storytelling than videogaming. It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out.
