Many medical students figure that their fourth year of medical school should be a time primarily focused on residency interviews and resting up for residency. While the interview part is necessary, the concept that one should be resting during that year is a myth. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. Your top priority should be to prepare yourself to hit the ground running as a great surgical intern.
