Step 2, you are getting in the way of my relaxation

I have postponed taking Step 2 twice, I think, because my brain was broken. It's currently on the mend, which is good, because I am going to take Step 2 next Friday. Or else.
Four years of undergrad and 3.5 years of medical school culminated in my applying for a residency in Neurosurgery and my matching. I will be leaving New York to go to [Mid-western state] in about a month. Now that that horrid business is over, and I am over my disappointment in not getting my first choice (almost over it, almost...), I am starting to get excited about finally pursuing the career I have dreamed about since time immemorial. I am looking forward to meeting my new co-intern, resident and attending family and exploring the hospital. Before that, I have to learn how to drive, find a place to live and move all my belongings.
For now, it's back to First Aid for the USMLE Step 2 CK and USMLE World.
