I'm Bored!!!!

Actually, I have lots of cleaning to do before my special guest arrives on friday. But cleaning is boring without good music so I am busy looking for songs on Itunes to add to my collection. The reference of the title of this post is partly a joke. I am off from rotations until January 4th and I partly rubbing in to my friends who still rotating :) Of course, without the structure of something to do everyday I am a tad bit bored. So, I decided to log on and get typing since I have some recapping to do anyways...

I finished Cardiology on friday!!! :) It was a nice chill and relaxing morning and after rounds I said my goodbyes to everyone. I then headed into the city to Macy's to find some blouse tops. I scored big time by finding a nice pink and a classic white one ($24.95 each). I then headed home to rest up for the big birthday weekend. On Saturday, I met up with Daniel, Patrick, Yoshie, and the birthday girl herself, Ishie, for a wonderful weekend in Atlantic City!!! LOVED IT!! Lunch was at a nice Seafood restaurant where my 3 sliders (crab, lobster, salmon) were fantastic. Then we had some really bad $2 shots (hee hee). Then we walked the boardwalk, took photos, and avoided pigeons. After playing $20 in the machines and losing (no afternoon luck) we headed back to the hotel for wine and prepping for the evening. Then, off to the Borgata for an amazing buffett dinner. I housed 4 plates of food and dessert!!! Then, tried my luck again with Wheel of Fortune slots. I did manage to turn my $20 into $50 before I lost it all :( Then, it was back to the hotel for some more late night drinking and passing out. Woke up at 10:30am, checked out of the hotel and headed to breakfast at this cute diner around the corner. Then, back to NYC. It was a really nice weekend away with friends....I should do that more often :)

Monday was game face day. I had to travel to New Brunswick, NJ for my first interview (actually my 2nd but my first during interview season). I went out with the residents for their invitation social. The ones I met were very laid back and chill. The next morning, was my interview. The program director was great. The program looks amazing. And almost all of my interviews went really well, except for the one question from the Vice Chairman that threw we off for about 10 seconds but I think I recovered enough to not look like a total idiot :) I really, REALLY liked this program and would love to match there and I sold myself as hard as I could to show them this. Hopefully, it worked!!

So, today I am cleaning and writing post interview thank you notes. Good news: I received another interview offer. Bad news: SUNY Upstate (a top of the list program for me) did not offer me an interview :( That's twice I have been rejected from them, once for medical school and once for residency. Well.....their loss!!!
