Match day finally arrived yesterday. Results were available at 8 am EST, which meant that I had to wait until 8 pm with the time difference here. By 8 pm, I had already been on a bus for 6+ hours, yelled at the driver for not telling me when, where, and how I was supposed to get to Laos the next day, and been dropped off at the very crappy hotel from which I would be picked up the next morning. So it was with great trepidation that I logged into the VIRMP website from a internet cafe in Dong Ha, Vietnam.
The good news is that I matched. The great news is that I matched to an academic program. So next year I will be one of 8 small animal interns at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana. I have never been there, and I know nothing about the program other than what they post in their description on the website. So this is a huge leap into the dark, but very exciting nonetheless. I guess I'll have to learn to say pop instead of soda (no, never). Wow... talk about the hands of fate in your life.
