Exam weeks are fun jovial periods of my medical school career. They are simultaneously awesome displays of masochism, sleep deprivation, emotional eating, crankiness, and moments of pure hilarity. The last one usually takes place at 11pm right before recognizing that the 17 hours of studying I've done that day are probably enough and I should go home.

Yesterday afternoon, I may have hit a new high, or a new low... you decide.

Given that the undergraduate population is also in exam mode, the library was swamped... not an open couch to be found. So, I did the next best thing. I grabbed my fleece, and StudyBuddy's fleece, and curled up on the floor in the corner of our study room and took a nap. That was an amazingly brilliant nap. I woke up 45 minutes later, rejuvenated and energized to tackle the next seven hours of studying.
