Quick adventure-update
Just back to NY last night from my month long ENT rotation in VA. I lived with Jillian for the month, visited Sarah for a weekend, and met up with Allo, an old college friend and teammate for dinner near DC. A productive and fun month, I even won $600 playing poker in Atlantic City as a first-time gambler! I am now on a two week vacation before my last two rotations. I spent the past couple of days in NH with Nelson, it was a lovely visit full of condo shopping, birthday celebrations and having lazy days where I got out of my PJs at 5pm after waking up to movie-days. I feel so fortunate that the end of medschool has taken a turn, and, is actually giving some time to ‘live’ and not stress. Of course, the Match for residency occurs on March 19, and is coming up soon — cant come fast enough. This is one of the MOST stressful experiences of my life to date — I am just trying to pretend its not there …because it is at a point where I have stressed a ton, and now…its out of my hands, so I figure I might as well just let it go as best as possible…
Now, heading to Puerto Rico tomorrow, where I will meet my dearest Meagen — and head on a cruise to Aruba, St. Martin, etc.. with my Mom and her best friend!! Margaritas and sunshine will help ease the residency match-day stress better than anything else I can think of!!
Take care! Much Love!
