I had imagined that taking the OKAP exam as a second year would be a lot easier, having accrued an entire year of ophthalmic knowledge. Instead, I felt less prepared this time. In fact, upper classmen traditionally perform less well on these exams – possibly because we have less didactics as intermediate residents, or perhaps because we no longer have the fear of failing and perceived ignorance as a junior. Either way, I was just glad it was over. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to celebrate, as I had to catch my college friend’s wedding in New Jersey that very evening. Just minutes after the exam was over, I hopped into our car and was speeding down I-95 through near-zero-visibility rain. Even our best efforts was not enough for Melody to experience her first Jewish wedding, although we did manage to quickly change at the wedding site in time for the reception to catch up with college friends. At home, we also started to embark on adventures in Dragon Age 2, where we decided to play as a force mage rather than our usual stealthy rogue motif. With a cast of unlikely companions – a busty pirate, an rage-filled elf-warrior, and an apologetic blood mage, we’ll be looking forward to some dragon-slaying excitement ahead.
