Match Day

Hello friends, lovers and strangers!!! 

I matched into my first choice for residency

Yay! 

Everyone else is more excited than me

It's slowly sinking in

My program is in this gorgeous little city

I fell in love when i went there to interview

I'm looking forward to living there.

I'm the only melanin-rich resident in the entire program

I'm used to the minority thing

thanks to med school. 

Come July 1st

someone is actually going to expect me to be a Doctor?! 

It's too soon for me to be freaking out about it 

so i'm still chilling

So for now, if someone passes out and they say 

"is there a doctor around?"

I will be looking around just like everyone else. 

I'm working on losing weight for that yet to be bought graduation dress.

I actually have to buy two dresses. 

We have a hooding ceremony and a commencement ceremony

Thou shalt not be fat in graduation pictures
15th Commandment

14lbs down, many more to go! 

We celebrated at an Indian restaurant yesterday 

where all thoughts of a diet were temporarily forgotten,

As i downed two sweet mango Lassis 

and scarfed multiple chicken naan with chicken tikka masala

I'll worry about really learning how to read EKGs

sometime in the future

before July 1st
