for the past two weeks after the results have come out, ive watched my friends enthusiastically plan for and apply for residency. and i went and hid in my little attic, having decided to toss my hat in the usmle ring. the earliest match is 2011. i cant believe im facing two years of absolute nothingness. as always, in the first days or so, i was thrilled with the prospect of doing nothing. i think it'd still be fun if there were just one person doing nothing with me, or earning nothing with me. ive noticed that being unemployed is disastrous for my credit card. not only do i earn nothing, but there are so many hours of the days begging to be filled with shopping. already ive a new pair of black beribboned espadrilles, the topshop new york distressed tee ive been dying for since march (went on sale), a striped man's shirt, sergio rossi flats (yes, sergio rossi rarely makes flats but when he does its super), striped linen shorts, and two dozen new books (i just eat books up during hibernation).
reading back, this post sounds depressing. *makes an effort to perk it up* among other things, i think i shall do morning walks daily. it was raining today and a morning walk after coffee was wonderful. i hope it rains everyday, sometimes i absolutely cannot stand the sun. the problem is that it takes me half an hour at least to get dressed. apparently i do not own appropriate walking clothes. so far my walking outfit consists of black linen capris, men's oxford buttondown shirts, fitflop sandals, and ten thousand blisters. *laughs at self*
these are what other peoples' morning walks involve:
mine are not as gorgeous, but still worth getting up in the morning for.
