Ok.. so I am sure all of you are feeling like I am about now... I am losing my mind waiting for the 20th. I have read two books, watched tons of movies, worked out more, even gone to Disneyworld....nothing seems to keep my mind off the match. The wait is unbearable... what are you all doing to keep sane until the big day? For some reason, I am not worried that I didn't match (maybe I should be), but i am concerned about where i matched... I just want to move on with my life! sorry for the vent..... hope all of you are handling this better than I am!

I, too, am not passing time very well. I'm doing stupid things like second guessing my rank list by checking any databases I can get my hands on. Trust me, don't do this. Even though I know that lists are in and it's all over but the crying, I just can't help myself. I have read a few books, researched moving my family and jobs for the hubby. I luckily have a friend who is trying to match in RadOnc who helps keep me sane by reminding me that at least I'm gonna match (fingers and toes crossed). Good luck to all. Here's to obsessing until the 20th.

so interesting to be reading this as an intern now...

my advice: the match lists are in so everything is out of your hands - you have time now to do *whatever you want* so take advantage of it and have fun!! god knows that this time next year you'll be almost willing to give your first born for some free time and the freedom from responsibility so that you can actually be carefree.

i hope the post doesn't sound bitter; it's not meant to be. it's about that time during intern year when we're finally feeling more grounded and it feels great. but you still wish you had more free time 😛

👍 GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

Even though I am working ( 1st year resident ), I cant keep my mind off match. It feels lik my life has come to stand still upto match. More stress and pressure added when everyone at work are asking me whens the match!!! I guess I am obssessed to match into OBGYN!!!! this adds more stress and pressure. I am frantically seeking for some peace of mind and good feeling.

Yep. Not only that i am constantly asked "so...where do you want to go." "so...what is your #1". I hope I am not jinxing myself by responding. One of the obgyn docs I see at the hospital is an alumnus from my #1 and everyday he sees me he says " X more days till the match!"
