BLACK MONDAY.

Today is "black monday", when residency applicants for all programs find out if they matched in the specialty of their choice - that's IF, not WHERE. Everyone receives an email. If you match, you wait longer to find out where. If you don't match you receive a plethora of information on programs that have open spots that you may, or may not be able to "scramble" into. If you're John - you refuse to participate in a scramble and opt to move to Oregon, buy a bunch of land and start an organic farm (John's idea of a "back-up plan"). So, although these days are much anticipated by John and I - I am sure most of you will not be surprised to hear that

WE MATCHED!!!

We just don't know where!

FEELINGS ON THE MATTER:

Andrea feels a huge weight lifted - after all she didn't REALLY want to help run an organic farm. Furthermore, Andrea feels an even stronger anticipation to find out where we will end up!

John's response when I called him after I got the email was: "I don't know. I am still just strangely calm about the whole thing. Actually, my first thought was - I guess someone wants to give me a job for 6 years." My response to that was: "Sucks to be them!" HAHAHAHA!

I suppose John is feeling the coming responsibility connected with matching in a Plastic Surgery Residency. Whereas I am just happy that we didn't go to Medical School to end up as Organic Farmers! HAHAHAHA!

Stay tuned for THREE MORE DAYS!!!!!
