so it is emailed so it is done.

Match day - a day that will live in infamy...

Ok maybe not... BUT, it was a BIG day for all of us waiting to figure out what we'll be doing for the next year or so.

So, to begin -- I am going to be a  PGY2 critical care resident at a very large and very well known academic medical center which I will not name in the attempt to keep things a little anonymous.  I am professionally very happy b/c I really loved the program and the people were really awesome and I know I will get a very different experience than I had during my PGY1.  There are way more residents overall and the whole place is just giant... I am excited to have this new adventure in pharmacy excellence.

On the less exciting side is that this means that B and I will be apart for another year and have to do the weekend commute back and forth... and I know it's just a year but it is still frustrating... In addition, this means that I won't be close to my sister either who has decided to stay near our fabulous university... I have really enjoyed living close to her over the last several years and I will miss being able to just get together with her... Also, all my friends are here... so even though we don't all hang out that often I will miss being able to just decide to go to dinner or whatever...

Mostly I'm excited but I'm also a little nervous.  I really think though that professionally this is going to be what is best for me.  When it all came down to it I knew that I could get equally great training at all the places I ranked and there is no denying that staying in the same city with B played a part... I would never choose to be away from him.  Nevertheless, the match has done its thing and I am happy to have the privilege to train in such an awesome program.

So, that's all for now I think...

goodnight
