yeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaah

note the incriminating evidence in the right hand.

i finished my personal statement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

i think. i've written about 3 or 4 totally different drafts of it, along with several different introductions and conclusions to each. (i even came up with a slightly different outro to attach to the end of the statements i'll be sending to preliminary year programs) but i think i've nailed one down now. seriously, what a pain in the ass. i've got to re-read it about a million times and have some docs take a look at it, etc, and then hem and haw and submit it to my online application, which i *think* will then be complete. minus the letters of recommendation which i'm sure the docs will take a nail-bitingly long time to submit. then i will just rack up an insane credit card bill by applying to, like, a MILLION different programs. for serious.

right now i'm looking at literally ALL the anesthesia, prelim medicine and transitional year programs in NYC and chicago. (doc dayne, how hilarious would it be if i did my prelim medicine year at christ? (answer=very)) honestly there really isn't anywhere else i want to go. maybe boston, but those programs are so damn hard to get into. don't even get me started on the south (carolina). it's fine for rap but helllll naw, i won't live there. and i don't think i'm even going to bother with the west coast. that northwest corner of the country is nice, but i doubt my chances out there without an away rotation. california is not going to be very interested in me, what with my board scores and lack of genius research. i AM tempted to send away apps to places like UCSF and stanford though, "just to see". just to see nothing happen.

i suppose i'll apply here, just because. it's a great program and i love the docs here, but jeez oh peas i need to get out of this town eventually, sheeit.

ANYWAY, i am done (i think) with my application which means pretty soon it'll be time to just wait for those interview invitations to just ROLL ON IN. commence rolling noises.......... (wait for it) ......now.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE PNW? OHSU ANYONE?

Whatever, I don't really know what you're talking about.

it took me approximately 23 hours to click the last, final, ultimate submission link on ERAS , because I was so paranoid that there was some undiscovered typo on my application...there were two.

seriously tho, you have to interview at your own school's program. for politeness' sake only, no need to rank 'em.

tLizaB: OHSU has rejected me twice, the fools.
