state of mind

Well, I think the fact that we will be moving to Prince George in June has finally sunk in. It took a little bit. I think that Match Monday would have been a weird day anyway, as every fourth year medical student in Canada is finding out just how much their lives are going to change (happy, disappointed, or just surprised). I don't know if being kind of blurry and post-call made much of a difference.

At first I was just thinking about how PG is actually really far away from Vancouver (10 hour drive) and Castlegar (11 hour drive), but not that exotic. I was pretty sad about the reality that we are going to be far away from not only our families, and our friend-family that has become so close over the last years. I am still sad to be dispersing, but I am excited for somewhere new, with an interesting population, and a strong program. I had even reached that point before we found out that Trisha and Cortney would be joining us in the Big George for the first year.

Also there is a Michael's. And, I am going to get some cross-country skiis...And a lot of down-filled items.

We don't know where we are going to be living yet, but just like the last post indicates, we are planning on having a second bedroom, so if you ever happen to be in the area (haha) please feel free to stop in for a sleep over.

two bedrooms and a den (like Kyle said).

I woke up this morning at the hospital. There was snow covering the road. Weird.

Kyle picked me up so I didn't have to try and ride to bike home.

I stayed up to check the match results. We are going to Prince George for our residency. Now I have to decide whether to go to sleep or go for brunch.
