Match Day!

I found out on March 15th that I officially have matched at my first choice: Nationwide Children's Hospital!

It was so exciting opening that envelope to see exactly what I had hoped to see!

So what does that mean?

I'll be spending the next three years of my life:

• Working about 80 hrs/week
• Working 6 days a week, about 12hrs/day
• Hanging out with kids nonstop
• Learning more than I even know there is to learn about pediatrics
• Figuring out what style of pediatrician I'm going to be
• Building relationships with fellow future pediatricians
• Learning a whole new level of what "exhausted" means
• Trying to comfort parents as they go through some of the hardest things
• Making children laugh as often as possible
• Passing out a ridiculous number of stickers
• Fulfilling my dreams

The craziest part of all of it?  I can't wait!  (But I'm definitely going to enjoy some time off first...)
