10/20 in 2010

this week has been full of lots of decisions and realizations. I have finally admitted that I am taking the Boards and that it's okay to start at least thinking about them, I turn 25 really soon (a quarter century crisis approaching?), and we're choosing our clerkship rotations, which will set up the next year of my life (starting in February). often in medical school (and maybe just in life?) everything feels like it rains down at once.

so while I'm still figuring out where I'll be and how I'll keep all the important people in my life in my life, at least in terms of what I'll be doing, the next year of my life will look like this:

Psychiatry 02/28/2011-04/16/2011
Family Medicine 04/18/2011-06/04/2011
Pediatrics 06/06/2011-07/23/2011
Ob/Gyn 08/01/2011-09/17/2011
Surgery 09/19/2011-11/05/2011
Internal Medicine 11/07/2011-12/23/2011
Neuro/Outpatient 01/09/2012-02/25/2012

friends and family, note all important dates and which rotation I'm in, because it may be a big factor in how I can celebrate those important days. I'm already worried about missing my cousin's wedding (August 2011). stay tuned for updates on where I'll be.
