you read right, folks... i'm done with rotations in 10 weeks! this week is technically not over until friday, but i'm heading to philadelphia today with tanner and a couple of our other friends to take our physical exam boards. it's a little scary, mostly because it's $1000 test and there's not way to study for it. cross your fingers and hope for the best, i guess... eek! my friend sarah said she was more nervous about it after taking it than she was before taking it. gee, thanks for that, friend sarah.
i'm at jen's because she's taking me to the airport today. i'll fly back on saturday, and then it's off to the races... i have to pack up my car for the next 10 weeks and be in columbia by monday. if i hadn't be so exhausted (read: lazy) this week, it'd already be packed. oh well.

i had dinner with my best friend from high school on monday. i hadn't talked to her in years. (weird that i'm old enough to say something like that.) i had seen her grandma earlier in my rotation when the doctor and i were grabbing lunch before heading to the wound clinic (gag!) and she had asked me if she could give suzy my number. so i said, "sure" (just for you, jen), presuming she would never call... but then she saw my mom at work last week, who told her i'd be taking off soon... and she actually called. we had a good time... her husband (who was also in our class) and almost-4-year-old son went out with us too. somebody remind me to call her when i get back in town the end of april, k? thanks.

grey's.
why didn't anyone tell me not to bother with last week's grey's anatomy? for real, people. i thought we were friends.

looks like i'm going to be in columbia next month, doing peds cardiology. then 6 weeks in kirksville doing some random nothingness. then? then, done. and boy doesn't that sound good.
in the middle there, there's match day. you know, the day i find out where i match for residency. march 15th to be exact. and you know what they say. beware the ides of march. yikes.

to address the comment section... i have no idea how much a femur weighs... but i know it depends on whether or not it is alive or dead. dead femurs are very light. live femurs would be light too if you sucked out all the bone marrow. but if you sucked out all the bone marrow, the bone wouldn't be alive anymore... it's an unsolvable conundrum. i'm not sure if that word is spelled correctly. you'll get over it.
but if you have to answer the question, i'd go, oh i don't know... maybe half a pound or so.
******
as far as where i go when... i'll be in harrisonville until the end of january, at which point i fly to philedelphia to take another (MUCH less stressful, MUCH more expensive) set of boards. afterwards, i'll start a new rotation... i've requested one in independence (which means i'd live with my friends in raymore again... which would be loads of fun...) but it's not been approved yet. i'm starting to get a TEENSY bit nervous about that... but it'll work out in the end. so, let's see... 4 weeks in independence (hopefully) and then 6 weeks in kirksville, mo. that should be fun - one of my only cross-over friends (meaning, we were good friends in college and then went to the same medical school) is an intern (first year resident) there and i'll be staying with her for at least part of the time i'm there. exciting.
******
i'm currently in columbia. i have an interview tomorrow. then just one more next week in omaha, nebraska. i'm fairly certain i don't want to go there, but i'm going to the interview to see my friend sarah who lives there. we'll hang out friday night, then i'll come back through saturday in time for the big birthday bash! a good time will indeed be had by all. then it's time to nail down the official rank list... eeeeek. eek eek eek. the good news is, no matter what happens on match day (the day i find out which program i'll go to), i'm pretty sure i'll be happy. the people everywhere are so very nice.
oh, and this is fun - i met a guy tonight who worked with dr mcdreamy. you know, MY dr mcdreamy. i don't think he loves him as much as i do, but he liked him a lot too. and the guy was cute too. and he is staying in the hotel room next door. maybe it's destiny.
