It was a treat to see my wife a third weekend in a row when she came to Durham for a final visit. I arranged for the management office to let her in since I was at work when she landed Thursday morning. By the time I got home, we were all ready for dinner reservations at Watt’s Grocery to savor their mind-blowing mac n’cheese one last time. On Friday, I finished morning clinic in time to introduce her to my favorite hand-pulled noodles in Durham before returning to the Eye Center for my exit interview with the fellowship director. The umami bomb knocked us out until dinner time at Four Square. The next day, we sneaked into Resident-Fellow Research Day for Melody to watch me present my research, then ditched the remainder of the talks to relax back home. By relax, of course, I meant sneaking through post-apocalyptic Boston and blasting zombies in last year’s critically-acclaimed Last of Us. Just as we were getting the hang of our PS3 controllers again, we were off to my graduation dinner. After receiving my certificate, I learned that I was also runner-up for the best research presentation, which must’ve been because I had already won too many awards this year. The after-party at Alley 26 saw the return of DJs Master P and Special K, and gave my wife and me the chance to dance till our bodies gave out. We could hardly climb out of bed this morning for brunch at the Waffle House followed by lemonade and snacks at my fellowship director’s house. We left early so that I could send my wife and PS3 back across the country in anticipation of my arrival. Just 2 more weeks to go!
