So if you don't count the celebrity look-alike thing that Chris posted on my site it's been over a year since I wrote anything on here. Not my spiritual gift I guess - xanga writting. But I enjoy reading everyone else's. Lately there's a lot of talk at school about the end of the year and boards and third year. So here's what's going on: 1) 2 and a half more weeks of classes. To think that I've been a student for the past 18 years of my life and I only have 2 and a half more weeks in the classroom. I still have two more years of being a student but I'll be spending every day in a hospital or clinic. No more of this sitting in a class with a professor lecturing for the majority of the day. Very exciting. 2) After that: finals, or as they call them in med school for some odd reason, shelf exams. 3) May 28th, 2008. Step 1 of the boards. D day. Very scary. Everything we've learned or were supposed to have learned in these two years and more. 4) June 1st. Moving to Indy! We found a place on Saturday that's super cute! (and a bonus: Chris' commute will go from 45 min to 15 min. Isn't that cool? Mine will go from the 3 minutes or less that it is now to about 15. A rough life). 5) June 16th. Official beginning of my third year! I just got my schedule preference today which is probably why I'm writting all this in the first place. I'm starting out with Family medicine, then vacation in July, when it's actually warm weather (yes, even in Indiana, although it's hard to believe) and mom and dad will be here from argentina, then pediatrics til about october I think. Surgery is next, then ob/gyn (with a few days off in there for Christmas), then surgery subspecialty. My last "block" has internal medicine, neurology, and psychiatry. Well I guess this post makes me officially a nerd. There's a lot of other things I could write about including a great trip to Florida for spring break, a potential future hike in Brown County with Jen (almost like the St James' way), the married to a cyclist list, a new baby in our small group, playing Rock Band and Wii and teaching Chris Phase 10... but I think Chris has got you mostly covered on the fun stuff going on. Or maybe I just am putting this last paragraph in to make me feel better about having so much of my life revolve around books. I'll let you be the judge. Oh and here's a picture of Chris and I at the beach that he forgot to post:
