match point

So I matched! Day before yesterday. I got my first choice, but I found out I matched there with a girl in my class who I find annoying. I actually cried about it to my psychiatrist today -- I'm so mad about it. It's like, I thought it was difficult to match at this place, but if she matched there too, then I guess a monkey with cymbals could've matched there. And I was looking forward to having good times with my intern class and having this cool group vibe, and it is RUINED. But actually, I felt a lot better after having talked to my shrink, and have been happy and tired (really, really tired) the rest of the day. Did I mention I was drunk for 12 straight hours yesterday?

I Love Lamp.

Celebrity sighting!

I saw this guy, John Bolaris, in the Starbucks at 8th and Walnut today. He's the weatherman for Fox 29, after a hiatus where he worked in NYC for a while. I smiled at him, but he didn't give me the time of day. Oh well. My world was still rocked.

Ah, I love my life right now. I didn't have anything I had to do today, and it was fantastic. I slept for 10 hours, worked out, and played quizzo tonight with some new friends. Not too shabby.

An Edge-Of-Your-Seat Post

I did my last major function for the school's psychiatry society tonight -- a dinner where students interested in psychiatry could talk to residents. It went very well! We had all the residents gathered at one end of the table, which was not ideal, but it went fine. I was really pleased that there was a good mix of students from all years (including six third-years!) and everyone seemed to enjoy the Thai food (I came up with the menu all by myself!).

I am exhausted. I've only slept five hours last night and the night before, for various reasons (including frigging Daylight Savings Time), so I'm heading to bed.zzzzzzzzzzzzz

It's Random Pic Time

I look surprisingly sober in this picture taken at Kelly's wedding reception.

but i've loved these days

Well, I guess the days of hookers and blow had to end.

...Meaning, I've been socializing a good bit lately, but now I have to sober up and try to work again. I started my emergency medicine rotation today, and it seemed pretty chill and self-explanatory. I am a bit worried about the fact that I'll need a Palm (into which to put the all-important PELS, or patient log). Anyway, I'm at my parents' house tonight, all alone (they are in London), because it's easier to drive down to the kiddo hospital from here than in the city. My cat seems happy to have me here (to feed him).

it takes two to make a thing go right

Amy and I went dancing tonight, and it was pretty fun. But actually, it wasn't as fun as I thought it would be. I'm exhausted now. By the way, I'm amazed at how coherent my last post was; it was actually more coherent than this one. Whew.
