The road of M3 was a long and hard one, but at long last we have reached the end. Looking back on where I was the last 4th of July, it truly was quite an adventure, I have to say I am quite proud of all I have accomplished and learned. From the endless nights of obgyn call, to mondays with miller, 12 weeks of uhats, the journey that was surgery, psychATION!, and peds with mercedes, every rotation has had an impact on me and who future Dr. Mike will be.


The last few weeks were spent studying for step 2, a lot like step 1 but not quite as bad. Things were definitely made easier by Stephen's study company as well as hot coffee girl at borders. Since taking step 2 I have spent the last 2 weeks at home thanks to our online informatics class, and have accomplished exactly what I promised; eat a lot and watch tv.

In a few days Ill be heading back to Peoria and continuing with our last year of medical school. One last year. In the words of a famous singer who's name I can't spell, "I had the laaaaaaast waaaaaaltz with youuuuuuu"
