This is my last week of pediatric surgery, and it has been fun! This week our upper-level resident is on vacation; so, the intern and I are "running the show." It is crazy-- good for me because I get more responsibility and experience!

I have lots of stuff to occupy my time... residency applications and studying for Step 2 being the major players. I have several meetings this week and next to ask for advice and letters of recommendation! Scary and exciting. Also, I am trying desperately to complete my personal statement...the more advice I get the harder it is... but the suggestions have been very good! Maybe with some help I will totally finish it this week... I hope!

Well, I hope you all are doing well... hopefully I will have a little more time to communicate during the next rotation (radiology)...
