Wards, PER, M4cation and... interviews!

I knew I'd been terrible at updating but I didn't realize exactly HOW terrible. Sorry about that, y'all!

I finished up my time in the NICU and left unwillingly... did a month of Peds Wards, then a month of Peds ER shifts, and now I'm on "Review of Pharmacology" (also known as the start of M4cation). The premise of this month is to write a paper on some pharm topic as self-study and use the rest of the time to ... be an M4.

So far this month I've begun to clean out some shelves and storage areas in the house in preparation for moving (I'll get to that in a minute) and found a new love for cooking as well as renewed my love of baking. Currently, the second half batch of White chocolate pudding andes mint sugar cookies are on the cooling rack. Mmm.. Back to what I was saying..

Interviews also are now in full force! The process of waiting on them to come in and scheduling was a bit hectic, but it's all fun now. My interview at my home program was even more than I expected, with them continuing to rank near/at the top of my list. I've got about 5-6 more places to interview over the next two months and then the Match will be right around the corner... :/ I'm looking forward to knowing where I'll be starting my career so I can buy a house - this is a must! ElliKate and I have seriously outgrown our tiny apartment.

We got graduation proofs in our email the other day. All that regalia is just weird. AWESOME, but weird.

As is my life right now. AWESOME, but weird.
