The End

it's time to move on. mumbler has made her first post on her new blog. time flies doesn't it? saw the army boys coming for their interviews today. i still remember sitting in front of the interviewers and shaking in my seat, and coming out of it thinking i had blown the interview big time.

then it was entering the wards for the first time and being so lost, even asking the ward clerk for cases. before i knew it was electives, and i was having a ball of a time in the grand ol' dame emergency department and at cedars.

finally it was our turn to sit for the final mbbs, and we spent our time mugging and practicing endlessly for short cases, reaching the hospitals early to catch the new cases, traveling around the island to the various hospitals for other cases, and staying up till past midnight to mug for theory. the numerous msn conversations with my online study kakhis (haha, more like distractors!), the routine we quickly developed in that two weeks of study break, and then finally, the big exam itself came upon us.

first it was the horrendously tough theory papers, then it was crazy computer based tests (the usmle is not always better than our exams!!) and later, the final stretch of clinicals which were completely draining.

it's been a long road, and looking at the fresh faces coming for their interviews, i consider how much i have changed in the past five years, and wonder what is in store for me in the next ten to fifteen years of my career and training. only time will tell.

new blog is at http://thefavoureddoc[dot]wordpress[dot]com. please update your links. =)
