Yay! I matched!

What a relief to finally know! I was as nervous as I thought I would be. I was sitting there with my attending trying to pay attention to the chest films he was showing me, waiting for 11am when the results would be out. 11am came and went and I was too chicken to check. Finally at 11:15 I went in the hall to call my boyfriend to check the website (I had no computer access). To make matters worse, I lost my cell connection to him and had to wander around the hallway until I got a good connection. THEN, the website was slow since so many people around the country were checking it at the same time. That just made me more nervous! Anyway, too make a long story short, he finally got on and told me I matched. I found out this afternoon that there are only 13 anesthesia positions in the entire country that are still open. I knew this year would be competitive, but that is crazy! Percentage wise, there are more radiology positions available this year than anesthesia. Historically, radiology has been very tough to get into. It still is, but now I guess anesthesia needs to be added to that list. Now I just have to wait 3 more days to find out where I matched.

Yay, I don't have to scramble tomorrow!!
