I think I did a terrible thing on Sunday. I bought an XBox 360. I got it for 20% off, which was ridiculously sweet, but now I'm not quite sure what to do with it besides write about not knowing what to do with it. I mean, I was going to buy it eventually, and I figured I should probably avoid the holiday rush. I'm terrible when it comes to putting things off until the last minute, but for some reason that wasn't such a problem when it came buying a 360.
The first-year med students just finished a hellish week of exams last week, and we have one more test this Thursday. I view this purchase as an early Christmas present for myself and as a reward for surviving last week intact. I definitely did worse than on the first round of exams, but nothing worth crying over. The torment did warrant buying a new toy, however. Luckily, Microsoft recently decided to be generous and package a couple of games with the system, and I can still play my old XBox games, but I still need Halo3 for my life to be complete. I put the unopened box in the back of my closet to keep myself from breaking it out before my exam this Thursday. If I make it through this test of self-control with my sanity intact, I'll be a real man, for sure. I purposefully didn't get Halo3 because having both the XBox and Halo3 in my closet would surely spell the end of my med school education. It's all about timing. Maybe over Thankgiving break or winter break might be a safe time to get it all out of my system. It's kind of like taking a leak when you've had several beers (not that I'm even physically capable of doing that). The point is, once you break the seal, it's all over.
