I'm too afraid to look at housing stuff. I'm afraid I'm going to jinx it. Isn't it funny how logical, rational, scientific people like myself can believe in what equates to a 5 year old idea of the "jinx?" Maybe I should stop thinking about meeting my soul mate as she may have the cooties!
Alright people, how much does this waiting suck?! COME ON ALREADY!!! Maybe I should stop looking at SDN. It's making the time go toooooo slowly.

Matched! My heart was racing when the website slooowly reloaded after 12:00, and I admit I was a bit light-headed when I got up from my seat
Congrats to everyone else who also matched, and best of luck to everyone 🙂

Congratulations to all so far.
I've already heard of two people who haven't matched. There were some surprisingly great open slots unfilled last year. To those still in it, keep up the work. It's not over yet.

Ditto. How cool is it gonna be when we find out where we matched and we realize that some of us may be working together in the next four years. Man, I'm quite excited. I'm positively percolating.

I ranked all 11 places I interviewed at-- couldn't see myself being miserable at any of them-- so the fact I matched doesn't tell me much.

Today I'm having this Arse buyer come in with a contractor, will most likely get into a peeing contest with them, and have this deal go south - tomorrow I am going to match day (my class is partying, but they're not my original class so I'm not going) and I'm going out with my sitter and her kids with my precious kumkwat to da da da da.... APPLEBEES no drinking ofcourse 🙂

I'm gonna sit in the VA ICU and twiddle my thumbs until rounds are over...then calmly go home and win the NCAA National Championship with South Carolina on March Madness 06....maybe I'll play with my child for a moment or say hello to my wife...who knows?

Since I matched, and only applied to out of state schools, I'm already getting ready for the move. If anyone out there is trying to get rid of stuff, today eBay is having a fixed price listing sale - 10 cents a listing! It's only for today, so I'm using them to get rid of a lot of junk I seem to have accumulated over the last four years...
And it gets my mind off of tomorrow!

I have had the last couple of weeks off after being in Hawaii for a three-week rotation in alternative/blended medicine (I know, cry me a river) and am about at the end of the rope re: boredom! So just getting ready for the big move in May. I hope your flake buyer comes through, Poety!

Aw thanks willow 🙂
And osiris, that kid in your avatar is cute.
Anyway, I am going to broil some salmon and watch Lost in HD with my hubby tonight. Then in the AM, I may or may not go to Kegs-n-Eggs before the Match Day extravaganza (which BTW will be webcast - our school kinda goes overboard) followed by FREE BEER at one of the nearby bars.
I hope they call my name last, because I want all of the money in that fishbowl. 🙂

So they can print your match letter off the internet for you. No way NRMP is going to spring for that much postage. As I remember, the deans find out early on Wednesday, so they know a whole 24 hours ahead of you.

I'm hoping our hospital matches great people this year. I'm entering 3rd year of residency, and I'm in charge of the little buggers on call. I'll finally have someone else doing the scut. The third years are ultimately responsible, though, so I'm hoping for very, very competent people...especially medically.
Can you imagine me...in charge of other people?! 😱
