Med Student vacation: truth or myth?

Well folks, I successfully finished my 1st year of Medical School and don't have to do the monster final exam, which means I'm already on vacation. 

As it happens, I have traveled a lot, but barely know my own country. So I thought I'd start to rectify that and go to a beach town up the coast, called Punta del Diablo, which I heard was amazing. 

And amazing it was. Miles of sandy beach, not too many people but just enough, perfect weather, great food, fun company. What else could I hope for? 


The pictures don't do it justice, really. The sunset was just a fantastic explosion of color and seemed to last forever. It was so peaceful! I really needed that after the crazy semester I just finished. 


We even had a big fire on Friday night and just sat around talking and hanging out until the wee hours of the morning. 

Unfortunately, I only had a few days. I had to go back home to finish all the things I need to do before flying to Europe in 9 days and then on to Chad!!

However, what isn't my surprise when I'm coming back to the city today, and get a message saying that my group's poster was selected to receive an award and asking who could go next Tuesday to present it!! 

So yes, I am *technically* on vacation, but it never really stops. They own us and if they say "jump!" the most we can do is ask "how high?" 

Shouldn't complain though, we worked hard on this project/poster and it's nice to be recognized. 

But as the tittle implies: Vacation? What's that?
