so... its almost upon us...... the dreaded intern year!
besides figuring out what precious electives I want to take, I also have to tell my program any scheduling requests that I have regarding vacation, etc

what do you guys ask for ?? i have no major events (marriages, graduations, etc) in my life over the next year that I know of ....
