Not having a super busy schedule on match week is dangerous for those of us who tend to be catastrophists (a trait inherited from my mom, the world’s best at coming up with worst case scenarios).
On the other hand, I do have a half marathon to race on Sunday (2 days after Match Day), making me want to keep the overall vibe of the week “low.”
Basically, I don’t want to spend too much energy worrying about what I have no control over at this point.
Thus, I am coming up with plans for myself to keep “excitingly busy”…and distracted.
Thus far, the plan includes lots of running, a SoulCycle class, a Figure 4 Class, a few sessions tutoring the future of America, the RC/RCH’s Picky Bars event, nails, seeing Silver Linings Playbook, finishing up a research project/writing abstract/making poster, and finding new TV shows to get addicted to. Shopping will probably get thrown in there, too, for good measure. Culinary adventures…probably not.
So, any suggestions to add to this list, let me know. I don’t watch Parenthood or Nashville or the Mindy Project or Pretty Little Liars or Downton Abbey and hear those shows are all the rage. Might check out one of those.
To all 4th year med students out there, may the odds be ever in your favor!
At least I’m not prepping for a child eat child game…
The Thinks I Can Think 
I love Pretty Little Liars, I admit it. Also, Revenge is on Netflix if you haven’t watched it. Good luck to you this week!
I just started watching Parenthood and LOVE it… I’m almost through the third season on Netflix & i really like The Mindy Project. Good luck this week!!
Pretty Little Liars is so good! I don’t watch any of the others but Homeland and House of Cards are pretty good too. Oh and Prison Break. It’s a few years old but you can get it on Netflix and the main character is pretty cute! Good luck!
I don’t watch any of those shows either, I’m more of the NCIS/Bones/Mentalist genre. Though I LOVE modern family, do you watch that? And my current drama fave is Castle. Also if you have Netflix check out Lie to Me, pretty cool show that’s not on any more but I watched at home with the parents… I’ll be thinking good thoughts for you this week!!! So exciting!!!
Meggie, I enjoy reading your blog very much! As a fellow catastrophic thinker, I have empathy for what you’re going through, but I know you will get the residency you’re hoping for š And if you’re looking for a new TV show, Nashville is one of my favorites, so well done, and Connie Britton is superb. Good luck with everything!!
Ill admit I love pretty little liars too….
MUSIC!! Go see music. Go listen to music. Go purchase music. Go dance to music. Check these out: Leagues, Dana Buoy, Dragonette, Alex Clare, Alt-J. Two specific gems: “Let It Go” – Dragonette & “Fire in Your New Shoes” – Kaskade (feat Dragonette). Rock on, girl!!
Deep breaths, Meggie! You’re almost there š Ahh, I am excited/nervous for you. Highly suggest Parenthood!!
I love Downton Abbey, you should check it out! I hope the week passes quickly for you!
Whaaa, you had a post all about JL and you haven’t seen Silver Linings Playbook yet?! š
I love Parenthood and I like Nashville but I am so far behind on it.
Can’t wait to hear where you match!
I am super excited to hear all about match day!
Parenthood and Nashville are two of my favorite shows along with Smash. I also recently have found The Taste which I like watching.
FUTURE DOCTOR MEGGIE!! So excited for you for Friday! I’ve been watching Gossip Girl incessantly. See you Thursday? Froyo?
Good luck Meggie!!!
The Walking Dead….zombies are awesome!
