freaking out

Is it just me or is the urge to completely rearrange my rank list inversely proportional to how much time there is left on the clock?

I know any changes I make now would be rash and not properly thought out, but it seems like everything I see/hear is becoming a sign that I've made the wrong decision. Can I trust a prelim's opinion of a program? Should the economy of the surrounding area influence the next few years of my life?

Anyone else having match day nightmares?

It's just another deadline.

I made one change farther down my list earlier this month after realizing I didn't like the way how one programs call schedule was set up (basically call gets worse as residency goes on-and I want to be thrown in the fire on day one) and that's it. I didn't want to be influenced based on any correspondance I received from the program or outside of the program.

Just follow your heart. That's what I do.

I had a match nightmare yesterday morning: one of my non-#1 programs told everyone they were ranking me #1, so my #1 program took me off their rank list.

A week or two ago I would occasionally get the urge to change everything around, but I resisted. Now I just keep running through my list, comparing each program to the ones above and below, making sure that I do really have them in my actual order of preference, and that this hasn't changed in the 6-8 hours since I last ran the list.
