work and play

Next up for Family Medicine is another group's answer to stress and lack of extracurricular activities. The Work & Play activities opened today with a 2-hour session of ballroom dancing. It was well attended (enough) considering the late hours (4:30-6:30 pm) and hectic schedule of students, staff and faculty. I suppose it's too early to assess the success of the project. I believe the group will be having three more weeks with ballroom dancing on Mondays and Tae-Bo and aerobics on Thursdays. Exercise twice a week is still not enough but it's a start. So far, so good.

I leave you with a quote from Douglas Adams, author of the weirdly amusing The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
