My best friend had a baby today. A healthy baby girl, whom I will hopefully meet tomorrow. And because I'm a med student I will probably do a full neonatal physical exam... but I digress.
My girl-friends have all mostly left the Boston area, and I really miss them.
Career-wise, I have pretty much decided that I will be going into Genetics. I'm kinda cool with whatever in medicine, except surgery and emergency med (those people suck at life.. and yet a few of my best med school friends will be going into those fields).
Anyways I'm going into genetics because I liked it the most out of EVERYTHING the first two years, and it's an up and coming field. This means that hardly anyone is doing it, so despite my dismal yet passing Step 1 score I will most likely get my first choice for residency.
In 2008, I will have to do the application process all over again. It's a retarded cycle I've gotten myself into. I stressed about applying to college, now I could care less about the SATs. I stressed about applying to med school, now I don't even know what's on the MCAT. I am stressing about residency, but once I'm accepted my Step 1 score will too pass into obilivion.
It's a lot, and my mind is quite jumbled. But for now I think I'm going to focus on the things I know I can do.
My new years resolution is to use my phone. To call people and actually talk to them. I still hide behind emails, blogging and instant-messaging. So I'm hopefully going to change that and try to at least call people once a month... maybe once a week for the family, but we'll see how that one goes.
Happy New Year everyone! I hope bigger and better things happen for you all!
