worked on a sweater I was knitting and giggled about the contract I signed for employment. Did a prediction/forecast of my finances for the next year until the end of residency and breathed a big sigh of relief that I will be able to pay bills a little easier this next year.

Then I went looking at board exam fees and schedules and got pissed off all over again. Seriously? $1400? And I have to pay it SIX MONTHS IN ADVANCE??? That's almost my entire two-week paycheck in residency! Highway robbery. So much for my financial cushion. Argh.
