OK, I usually don't take a 1.5 month hiatus from blogging, but it's been a bit busy 'round here. I am right in the middle of residency applications... well, I was. I'm now done applying and have been busy as hell scheduling interviews!
I'm pretty pleased, actually. In the past week I've had 10 requests for interviews -- one of which includes UCLA -- the main reason why I moved to Los Angeles! My goal has been to do my residency there, and now I at least have a shot. I actually have 2 interviews - one at each campus. It's still a few months off, so I have time to panic and obsess about it.
My other interviews are all in SoCal. I have applied to programs mostly in Southern California, with the exception of 2 programs in Chicago I am interested in. But the goal is to stay here in LA, so I am gunning for my top choice, obviously.
We'll see where the Match gods decide to place me. I won't know where I match until mid-March. Hopefully, my last month of medical school will find me celebrating like mad as I soak up the sun in Oahu. My plans have been finalized, and I will be doing my addition medicine rotation at the Univ. of Hawaii the entire month of April. Woo hoo! Now to find a place to live...
