catchup

Step 1 has owned my ass for the past 4 weeks, all of which came to a rather inglorious end yesterday. But whatevs.

Today has been one of those useless post adrenaline rush days where I lay around in bed watching Netflix for hours. Again, whatevs.

Dropping off my carrel key tomorrow – the end of an era as R put it.  It’s sad that we’re going our own separate ways, but hopefully I’ll see people at least once in a while. Going out drinking tonight, for starters.

Got a call from A today. I’ve been mad at her since she never replied to the page long gushy email I sent, what, a year ago now? But it makes no sense to stay mad at someone who’s barely in your life anyway. That might change however, since she’s moving back to DC permanently. I brushed off the email incident when she half-apologized about it, and we proceeded to have a pretty interesting conversation. She asks simple, insightful questions that leave me wondering why I’d never thought to ask them myself. For that quality alone, I’m willing to give our friendship another chance. But I’ve got my guard up.

Also got a call from D. They’re on a different schedule, so she’s doing two clerkships prior to taking her boards. She feels less prepared than her classmates who’ve already taken the exam. I get that, and I sympathize. What I don’t get is why she would bring up how tough going back to the wards will be for me – "in 4 years, you’ll have forgotten everything!"  It’s like she can’t help herself. Guess misery really does love company.

That’s all I’ve got for now. Should be updating more frequently now that I’ll have the time.
