Obligatory "I think the match is rigged" statement of the day.
So, some applications from last year overlap with some from this year. No big deal, figure I'll get the same out of the process, since my application is "2006, one year later". Nope, completely different. Multiple programs I interviewed at last year rejecting me prior to the interview, others that rejected me last year interviewing me this year. I have now given up, and fully feel that the process comes down to this. 1. Have minimum standards, whatever they may be. 2. Flip a coin to sort out those that exceed minimum standards. 3. If someone asks nice enough, maybe revoke 1 or 2, depending on how you feel that day, how the weather is, and if that person's name is the same as anyone who ever stole your parking space/girlfriend/scone at starbucks/job.
The end.

Feeling better today, yet have this nagging feeling I am forgetting something. I have gotten up to check the stove/oven, microwave, and toaster to make sure they are all off. They are...at least the last time I checked. But in between, I've actually been able to study some today and maybe remember a little bit.
damn.. whats up people. I havent been on this thing for a while.
I think some others could say the same thing. As for me, I am using it as a procrastination tool. The bad thing about typing up your own summaries is that you are on the computer all the time.
just so much goin on
Ya. Finals week for me. But taking a break so I can eat some dinner.

Why can't we all just get along?
but then I think of EM2BE, Iatros, rose, and other up and comings, and I can't do it 🙂
aw, man, and here you come with guilt trip. Okay, okay, I'll go review U of C (canceled NW & UIC)
Read the U of C - what is this physician-scientist track? Sounds interesting, but I looked at their website and didn't find it.
Thanks!
from studyland. Not happy land.
Sweet, I don't have to work until 3 tomorrow.
Had my first rectal foreign body today.
I mean, my first PATIENT with a rectal foreign body.
It was a . . . surprise! - a vibrator.
A big one too.
And he says he doesn't need it back.

He had to go to the OR.
Maybe you'll have more time after all the interviews are done. But at least you are too busy with them than too busy worrying and wondering why you don't have them.
