Waiting Game

I have finally submitted my ophthalmology application. I have applied to everywhere from Connecticut to Florida to California to Washington. Hopefully in the next few weeks I will hear about some interviews. Last night I finalized my application for my intern year, which may actually be in a different city than my ophthalmology residency.

The past week and a half has been spent on the Otorhinolaryngology service. There has been no shortage of interesting stuff to see. The residents and faculty have been great.

Well, this Friday I will take the Clinical Skills portion of my USMLE Step 2 Exam. I am not really looking forward to it, but as I read somewhere "this too shall pass as a kidney stone."

Trip to Canada

I actually forgot about my quick trip to Canada at the end of July and start of August. I ran up there during my month of radiology. It was good to visit old friends and see relatives. I water skied just enough to make myself incredibly sore. A round or two of golf proved that I didn't play enough. You know it is a bad game when you are counting strikes. It was also the first time in almost 13 years that I saw uncle Stan and aunt Barbara and certainly the first time to see one of my cousins. After another year of school in Dallas, it was nice to get up to the lake.
