Holiday Update '07

Happy Holidays! Let's start with the 1st holiday...Thanksgiving. I travelled to Baltimore to visit Nat, who is spending 2 months doing shock trauma at the University of Maryland. I decided to take a bus to get there but the only bus I could take was the Chinatown Express bus because they were the only company that I could sneak the puppy on. Luckily, they did not give me grief about the puppy and we were on our way to Baltimore. Once I got to Baltimore I was lucky enough to come down with a stomach bug. I spent all night pretty much in the bathroom with Nat and the puppy checking up on me periodically. So Thanksgiving came and went with me not eating a thing because I was so scared that it was just going to come up again and Nat spending 30 hours at the hospital. 2 days later, I felt a little better so Nat took me to the trendy part of Baltimore. It was very nice but very cold and I still felt a little queasy so I couldn't enjoy that much.

So the puppy and I made our way back to Brooklyn without any issues. The next holiday was my 26th birthday!! My birthday fell on a Sunday this year so I decided not too plan anything very big. I went out on the 1st to celebrate my friend's birthday and ended up celebrating my birthday once it turned midnight; it turned out to be very fun!

On my actual birthday, Nat drove down from Baltimore to take me out to a very nice dinner at Bobby Flay's famous restaurant, Mesa Grill. The food was so good but unfortunately we did not meet Bobby!! We had a great time and even closed down the restaurant. Next holiday on the list is Christmas, which is my favorite holiday of all time. The puppy and I are going to be at my parents' in Pasadena and Nat is coming down for about 3 days. I am totally looking forward to it!

Other than holiday stuff, all I have been doing is interviewing and more interviewing. I am up to about 7 interviews and I still have a bunch more to go. I am having a very difficult time with the whole "which residency is best for me". Hopefully, I will solve it very soon. Well, I will post some more pictures very soon!
