Applied!

I completed my ERAS application, finalized my personal statement, and applied to 31 residency programs this morning. I applied rather haphazardly, selecting pretty much every program between central NJ and DC, and the two in KY. I can always add more later, so I'll keep doing some research, but my options are limited because I really want to be in the NJ/PA area.

In this age of sharing too much on the Internet, I've been going through all of my online sites and trying to de-publicize them. Facebook is now completely private to all but my friends, and I've de-tagged myself from nearly all photos that other people have posted. I just Googled myself again and while there are a lot of other people with my name, most of them are not me. There's a college volleyball player, someone who testified in court, and some other random stuff. In fact, the first actual reference to me is from a pizza tasting event I did this past spring with the staff of Eric's old newspaper -- silly, but harmless.

Cross your fingers for interview invitations!
