MATCHED!

I posed with my new Louis Vuitton bag and asked RedSox, "how do I look?"

He replied, "Wealthy."

That's the ultimate goal, and it will be realized. I'm very happy to report that I matched in radiology in Boston. I'll spend a year in Denver doing regular medicine first. 

I must admit that I knew I was matching at the GH a month ago. Apparently I was #1 on their rank list, and of course no one could resist telling my mother... who then couldn't resist telling me... who then told Sister and RedSox, but no one else. (ok I spilled to OleMiss 2 weeks later and then Ruby 2 days prior to the Match).

I'd say I did the best job with the secret, though.

And now for a soapbox moment:

Medical school is hell on Earth. I don't encourage anyone to go, and looking back on the last 4 years I wouldn't repeat most of it. Granted, I say this in the immediate aftermath. I imagine I'll be singing a different tune when I realize I have job security, a sweet paycheck and great friends I would never have met otherwise.

I would like to thank everyone for reading my blog, be it long-term or once in a while. Thank you for offering your thoughts, advice and opinions regarding school and everything else going on in my life. I appreciate you sticking around when I ultimately did what I wanted/felt/needed anyway.

Because you KNOW the story ain't over...
