Yesterday was my last day as an MS III. I’ve been doing my last three rotations, Ob/Gyn, Surgery and Internal Medicine here for the past 7 months, so as far as hospitals go, this place feels most like home. I was both excited and sad about leaving, since I’ve grown so used to the comfort of this place, familiar places and even frequent patients. It is strange that my 5 am alarm clock alarms with requisite, repeated snooze will not be set for the next few weeks. And yet, I could not get myself to sleep in this morning. I said my goodbyes and thank you’s to my residents, attendings, nurses, housekeeping, even the chef in the cafeteria and the cashiers in the hospital diner. I’ve come to know so many people here, and it’s sad that they won’t be part of my everyday. It’s part of moving on and forward, yet I always get a little nostalgic. I’ve had a really great experience. Everyone was so friendly and kind. It is incredible how much I have learned so much this past year and how much more comfortable and easier things seem. I’m excited and anxious about starting my 4th year electives. I will be bouncing back and forth from California, Chicago, possibly Florida and New York for rotations. It is nerve-wrecking yet really exciting to be traveling here and there in search of some unknown future. I’m not sure where I want to live nor am I really tied to a specific city, so the possibilities seem endless. I have to say I really do love New York. But.. Before then, I will be back on lockdown for the next few months studying for step 2.
