That Four-Legged Evil

Never before, in my wildest dreams or most terrible nightmares, had I suspected that one day I would so loathe an object as seemingly innocuous as a chair. 

But loathe it I do. 

All I do these days is sit: I sit in my chair behind my desk and study for the boards; I sit on the couch and study for the boards; I sit at the kitchen table and study for the boards; and, if I'm feeling truly daring, I sit outside and study for the boards.

Yes, it is that time in my young medical education - STEP 1 COMLEX boards are 20 days away as of this writing. This eight hour, 400 question exam will test how much I have learned in the past two years and, if I pass, usher me into official status as a 3rd year medical student. 

Thus, like my colleagues, I spend nearly all of my waking moments studying. My tuchus is tired of sitting. The chair has become an evil taskmaster telling me to open another book, read another power-point presentation, watch another educational video.

Sometimes I look out the window and yearn to go jogging or even take a brisk walk. "No time!" cries that cursed chair and back I go to plant my derriere in that unforgiving seat.

Speaking of which, I've already taken too much time sharing this with you. Only 20 more days! I should be studying!
