My blog is behaving badly. It appears that my posts are not showing and I'm not sure why. I first noticed it last night, but I thought it was because the Internet was flickering on and off (as was the power). I'll get to the bottom of this, sometime next week AFTER the exam.
The application for the transition semester came out this morning and we are filled out the applications as quickly as possible. Much to my original dismay, Farley and I have decided to apply to stay in Dominica. I hope that we will both be assigned in Dominica! I never thought I would want to stay here, in a third world country, any longer than necessary; but I think that this is the best thing possible for my career. If I get to stay here, I will be working directly under attending physicians and if those attending physicians like me, I might be allowed to practice some hands on skills that students in the States are not allowed to do until they are further into their medical education. One of the most important reasons to stay here is that we have to take a HUGE exam on Monday, May 18th: the National Board of Medical Examiners Comprehensive Exam over the basic science years of medical school. It is an extremely difficult exam and I'd prefer to spend my three weeks studying for the exam (which covers the first two years of medical school) rather than moving. I hope that we both get to stay!
