Very big "news" week!!

First of all and most importantly, Nat matched at Maimomides Hospital is Brooklyn, NY!!! We are finally going to be together for longer than just a week in the same country (as I will be in Brooklyn as well doing my rotations). This past week has been nothing but a ball of nerves for both Nat and I , wishing and hoping that he'd get his first choice hospital. I wanted to say Congrats to all of Nat's friends that got jobs also and are graduating with him this June! YEAH!!!

Secondly, in the beginning of this week, an announcement was made in our class that a parent of a SGU student in Grenada was on a boat and was missing. The St. Vincent campus was chartering a plane to help in the search and rescue attempts. Luckily, the parent was found, still on the boat, about 50 miles off the coast of Grenada, nearing Margarita Island, Venezuela. It was kinda strange however, that students in Grenada were never informed about this incident but they told us and even flew some fellow students out there, hmmm... Well, luckily the parent was saved and all is well now.

Thirdly, I will be coming back to the states in less than 2 months!! I am sooo excited. Now all I have to do is get through these upcoming tests, BSCE II, OSCE and finals and I'm all in the clear to finally come back home!!!

Well, this weekend is going to bring me nothing but many hours of studying and a sore ass from sitting all day!! hehehe. Wish me luck that I get all of this information into my head.

Quick Update: I will not be staying at a family friend's house this summer while studying for boards. I will, instead, be staying right off of Jamboree Rd. in beautiful Irvine, CA in corporate apartments. Hopefully, once my Step 1 is over I can actually enjoy living down there!!
