Your current 'feelings' having just matched..

Yeah, I was happy when I matched but now am anxious. I keep running my ROL through my head- what if I wind up at my 9? What if they mistakenly picked me as an OBGYN applicant- they both start with O? What if I don't graduate?

Again, I should be thankful I matched. Some of my friends didn't match and I thought they were phenomenal candidates.

It doesn't really seem real to me at this point, especially after not matching last year. I've read the NRMP email countless times. I'm excited and impatient to find out where I'm going, but most of all I just feel a huge sense of relief in knowing that I'm now officially on the road that ends with me being an orthopaedic surgeon.

Yeah.. I've read the NRMP email countless times myself. I feel the relief, definitely, but I feel like I should be simply 'in clover'. Like, nothing can stop me now.. but ugh,.. it's not the case! ahhhhhhhh

I personally feel this overwhelming appreciation for all the people that helped me this year. I'm trying to figure out some way to thank them that is more than just a note or email.

And of course, I feel like a kid on Christmas morning with a present I've been told I can't open for 3 more days! Ack, the torture!

yeah.. i second that cnh.. I had something special made for the folks that helped me.. I know if they didn't, I'd be scrambling today, that's for sure...

for the love of god, stop eing b@$^hes and commence the drinking.

Drinking starts after the 'where' becomes evident. You EtOHolic.

I'm feelin' like P-diddy

Gayest thread. Ever.

I would like to point out that I made the point of creating a disclaimer before we began the thread. So,..there.

Doesn't make it any less... gay.

Would penis pictures help?

P.S. Someone PM me the ROL_2010 password. thx.

Yesterday, I was on cloud nine. Today, I have thought of a whole host of ridiculous things to obsess over. In order of increasing absurdity:

1. What if I fail step 2 CS? My school will still let me graduate, but what if that means I can't work as a resident and my program drops me? I am screwed!
2. What if I was mistaken in thinking ortho programs were categorical and you actually have to apply to prelim programs, which I did not do? I am screwed!
3. What if I didn't match, but when I log into the NRMP website, I am actually inadvertently using the username and password of a different person with the same name who matched? I am screwed!

Yeah, I know it's lame. But I'll also admit that I'm secretly hoping someone will write back and say, "Shut up, that's retarded," because it would make me feel better. Kind of like when people with Step 1 scores of 270 make "What are my chances?" threads.

Paranoia: It's a way of life.

shut up SharkWeek, you are retarded...and officially an orthopaedic resident..congrats dude/dudette

Will someone PM me with the password for ROL_2010? Thanks in advance.

Every time I read that, it gets more funny....

Thank you. I feel better already.
