Pomp and Circumstance

The Medical School Degree Ceremony: such an elegant affair!  And my small role in that elegant affair was to work with Richie to make sure that nobody fell as they walked down the awkwardly designed stairs after receiving their diploma.  Not a very glamorous job, but completely necessary for some of the girls who were wearing heels so pointy they could be used to start a central venous catheter.

There was a wide variety of emotions as the graduates exited the stage: some laughed, some wept, and some turned the wrong way and had to be redirected back to their seats.  But whatever their mental state, they are finally doctors, and I finally feel like a real fourth year.  Hard to imagine that in just one year it'll be SMD12 parading around in our caps and gowns.  We're almost there!!

when i first glanced this title, I thought it said "Poop and Circumstance." I was surprised when it didn't.
