Time to de-stress

Ok so if nobody has noticed, I've been a bit negative lately. My boyfriend read my blog the other day and commented that I seem to be in "rant mode". Yikes. I don't want to be one of those kinds of women.

Truthfully, I'm really stressed out. I'm worried I won't match into the anesthesia program where I attend medical school, and even worse, I'm worried I won't match at all, therefore rendering me jobless and homeless come July 1st.

My first interview is this Friday. I can't find anything to wear. Boyfriend and I shopped all day Saturday and part of today and I couldn't find anything that was 1. appropriate and 2. that I actually liked. I went to Banana Republic first and the lady there had me try on a tweed dress suit that made me look like Mary Poppins-I'm really not kidding! The skirt was long and flared out, it was so ugly that I can't imagine why the designers that work for BR thought it would work. I also went to Ann Taylor with no better luck.

After that, we went to visit Rich Person's Mall across the street. We went to Harold's and Talbots. Again, no luck. Why is it that all sales clerks are 18 years old and have no clue about traditional dress. I mean, come on, I can't wear a pink twead suit to a residency interview! I'm a very private person and prefer not to get into the logistics of why I need the suit so I just say it's for an interview and it needs to be conservative. I guess they interpret that as meaning I have a job interview at a Hallmark store and anything goes as long as it's dressy. Oh well. I recruited my mom to go with me to Dillard's tomorrow night for one last try. Boyfriend is tired of shopping (and probably tired of my crankiness in the process).

What I'm listening to: Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel
What I'm thinking about besides me: Those 22 people who were killed by the tornado early this morning. Why can't tornadoes only hit in the daytime when people are awake and can take cover?
