Match Day '08

We've moving to.......

Karsten and I had been waiting a long time for this day. After many hard and grueling years in medical school, we were ready for the next step. National match day is the day when the majority of 4th year medical students find out where they will be doing their residency. On March 19th, the SIU School of Medicine provided a very nice lunceon in Springfield. What is so exciting about this day is the fact that everyone receives an "envelope" with the secret to their future inside. Then, all at once everyone opens their envelope at record-breaking speed and the place where they will be doing residency is revealed. Karsten will be doing his Family Medicine residency at Deaconess Hospital in Evansville, IN. It is a very nerve-racking day indeed.
