If You Need Something Done, Give It To Someone Who Is Busy.

Just kidding

Don't.

Actually you can, and I will probably process it so fast I will barely realize I even did it.  Probably. 

Or I could crumble under the weight of all the added pressures and reach my psychotic break and see you all during your visits to my 'extended stay Inn". 

It could really go either way.

So thank God Ob/Gyn is over right?  Step into Family Med rotation where life is simple, sweet, and vacation-like!

For a normal functioning human being.

Which, I feel we have firmly established, I am not.

On the first day of FM rotation, I went in before orientation to have a meeting with the Medical Education student coordinator.  I just wanted to talk with him and get a few ideas since I felt a little overwhelmed with booking electives coming up, and overall about the roads I am going down...

I came out of the meeting with the decision that I will give up my 2 week break this summer to fill with an elective, and then push straight through for the next year with everything booked back-to-back so that I can match for 2014 residency instead of 2015. 

So of course this meant that I had months of prep work to catch up on in a matter of a couple weeks.  Essentially since that meeting I really really feel like I haven't stopped. 
I am currently in the process of juggling 3 elective applications to Canadian schools, 3 applications to my school to even do those Canadian electives, preparing for American residency match applications, preparing for Canadian residency applications, studying for USMLE step 2 CK, CS, MCCEE, NAC (a lot of letter which mean 4 board exams) all which need to be taken before October (keep in my my original plan was to calmly approach these exams come November), find housing in Baltimore, figure out more long-term car situation, all while working full-time hours in family med, and.... eugh. I'm actually forgetting about 50 different little things intertwined within all of this... but anyway...

what was I saying?


I don't know.

As soon as I am done with the above list... I will be working on my retirement plan.
