i sure do have fond memories of bumming around all day, every day last summer with Maddy. those were the days… !
huge hearty happy heart-warming healthy congratulations to the MED 5’s that wrote the Comprehensive Basic Science shelf exam yesterday! i hope you enjoyed the grad dinner last night and are looking forward to getting off this little island and onto studying for Step 1!
speaking of looking ahead…
this time next week: i will be down 3 exams, with 2 to go. i will be 3 sleeps away from super-rejuvenating and ultra-relaxing getaway at the Marriott in St. Kitts with most wonderful planning ahead boyfriend.
this time next month: i will be nursing post-birthday-omg-i’m-31! blues.
this time next year: step 1 will be DONE. i will hopefully be well into my first clinical rotation placement. i will be married (ha! kidding!). Nevis will be a fond-but-distant memory and i will probably be writing about how much i miss the sound of airplanes taking off and the smell of goats and gasoline.
does last summer seem as far away for you as it does for me? every once in awhile i look back over the previous year and marvel how much has happened. which makes it clear i can’t even imagine what’s in store over the next 365 sleeps…

It seems like a million years, but I also think of things that happened two years ago and can’t believe it’s been THAT long. Time is such a crazy thing!
Did enjoy you shots from last summer but cat believe that a year has almost passed by.
Good luck with the next tests.
Just remember birthdays are only a number, its how you feel.
Love those pics of Maddy and you. Your hair looks fabulous in that picture. Hope you have fun in St. Kitts and you get a lot of relaxing time!!! Best of luck on the two shelf exams this week. I know you will do awesome!!! : P : )
Does BCWB=Brandon?
Sneaky!
I hope BCWB = brandon! Otherwise BCWB needs to tone it down on the sugary praise before I puke!
yeah, i had a sneaking suspicion that BCWB=Brandon also. he always seems to know a little more about you than he lets on. :)
i just want to say how much i appreciate your pre-written daily posts. you’re one thing i can rely on everyday. :)
I have the sneaking suspicion that BCWB=Brandon too:)
I have to say Sarah, you were my favorite poster on here until you said you were going to puke by my comments. Now not so sure, just kidding. And yes BCWB=Brandon!! You all are much smarter than I thought. I am quite surprised/impressed I must say!! Very awesome. I was trying my best not to give it away, but I am sucked in by Jennifer and I love her website. Plus I love to hear all of your opinions. Jen is a great woman and I will do my best to treat her right you can count on that. Also, I told Jen she better post things that I do when I screw up so that you guys can give her some support because I know I will screw up sooner or later, I mean I am a guy : ) : P And you guys are so awesome to her so I know she is in good hands even when I do screw something up : D Nice to meet you all!!
BWCB - you totally had me fooled! But nice to meet you too :) So happy for you guys!
omg that’s hilarious! I never would have guessed (not that i’ve given it much thought). Don’t worry, I tend to puke on/at a lot of people and their comments, but in your case it’s a friendly puke.
Could you please send me a care package? I don’t like coffee but I could use a gigantic bag of fuzzy peaches and maybe some junior mints (word on the street is that you treat jen’s friends well). Failing that, could I at least add you on facebook?
I do my best with her friends. I don’t know that I treat them well, she is probably being nice, but I treat them with the same respect I give Jen. I would love to send a care package but I am much more of a spoiler not a good food kind of guy. If you need a 3.5 pound bag of sour patch kids I know where to find it : )!! You are welcome to add me on facebook. You can link to my profile through Jen’s relationship status. I will be more than happy to add you. : D
fuzzy peaches are the same thing as sour patch kids…just in the shape of peaches! (and not sour…just majory sugary *drool*)
Yeah well you hadn’t fooled me :)
I can vouch for B and say he will indeed treat Jen’s friends as well as he treats her! I have not even met the guy but he wrote me a surprise note when I visited Nevis, and I kept it because it’s just that sweet.
He needs to work on his politics though ;)
xx
Brandon is right, she does have fabulous hair in that photo. Jen too. The ripple of smile dimples is impressive also.
Sarah is still my favourite commenter despite all her talk of “friendly puking”! I’d send her, umm, fuzzy peaches any day. ;)
Sorry guys, I’ll try to keep the puke talk to a minimum from now on and just so you know, I nolonger crave fuzzy peaches after that vulgar reference to them.
(that reference would be Brandon referring to them as actual fruit, not jammie’s sexual innuendo - i liked that!)
BCWB! and here i thought i had another admirer. ; ))
