I'm so sick and tired of my summer break...
Will someone please tell me why for first and second year medicine, I have 30 weeks teaching which means I start in October, work for ten weeks, have four weeks off for Christmas, work for another ten weeks, have five weeks off at Easter, work for another ten weeks and then get just under three months off for summer -
Then come third and fourth year I have 45 weeks teaching which means two and a half weeks off for Christmas, a week and a half off for Easter and three weeks off for summer?
End of the fourth year doesn't count because you don't finish working from Easter until written finals in September... and then you get two weeks off before a 40 week slog with no break... and then a month off, then it's pretty much straight into an F1 job...
Grr!

No I can't tell you why.
Just enjoy your time off while you have it
Come the third year i'll be on clinics etc every waking hour, being bollocked by consultants... in at weekends, on nights...
Why do I do this you ask? Sure as hell isn't for the favourable working hours and good pay!
