So Long, January. Hello, February.

5 Notes

The first month of 2012 has flown by. I traveled over 10,000 miles from January 4th to the 23rd, participating in several residency interviews, attending one unbelievably disappointing Packer playoff game, and spending some quality time with my family, who I wasn’t able to see over the holidays. I wish I could share more about the interviews, but I will say that this past year has been good for me, however unexpected it was. I am proud of the ways I’ve developed, both personally and professionally. I’m not necessarily a big believer in finding the silver lining in life’s every disappointment but not matching last year has allowed me opportunities I’m not sure I would have gotten had life taken the path I wanted at the time. I’m now playing the waiting game. February 24th is Match Day. The SO, a few friends, and I are taking off for Vegas that morning. I think it’ll be appropriate, no matter Match Day’s outcome. Perfect for celebrating… or drowning my every hope & dream in tequila. My life’s been about a lot more than just my career and residency over the last 12 months, but in many ways, I’ve been waiting for February 2012 since Match Day last year. And here we are, much more quickly than I could have ever imagined. Please be kind, 02/2012.
