Thankful

I'm not quite sure this post is going to live up to the title, but it was the word that kept appearing in my head, so we're going to go with it. I have been seriously slacking in posting over the past few weeks, but as time got closer and closer to THE DATE, I found other more effective ways of keeping busy. (Mostly watching mindless TV and finding new blogs to read obsessively). However, the big date arrived and I found that not only did I match, but will get to go to my first choice internship program. Thankful is the word that keeps appearing in my head, because this is an outcome that I did not for one real moment ever consider would happen. Even when applying I counted this program out, as being so competitive that I would never have an actual chance of interviewing- let alone matching there. So the moment that I realized that this amazing outcome- being able to spend a year interning at the program that had everything I wanted in a training experience, in Manhattan- the center of NY, spitting distance from my family and minutes away from where my sister works, and also meaning I that I FINALLY get to be with my partner after 3 long years of long distance- THANKFUL was the feeling that completely took over. When I matched I literally got down on my hands and knees after matching and thanked God. When I found out where I was going, I was so shocked and just sat there stunned with a giant smile on my face for several minutes. So yes, I am thankful that my hard work has paid off and that things have worked out in the most amazing way imaginable. I really am feeling so happy about this situation, that I feel like it cannot possibly be real. I'm almost waiting for someone to come take it away... Although I will fight anyone that tries. ;)
