Within minutes of finishing our GI exam, my classmates started posting on facebook/gchat/twitter: “One fourth an MD”; “Year one of med school–check”; “Officially an MS2!” They were all right, I’m sure. Still, I’m with Toby, who would not allow a single drop of champagne to be drunk until the presidential appointee for the Supreme Court received 51 yea votes. I believe in a thing called “tempting fate.”
So, for me, I didn’t officially become an MS2 until this past Friday, when I received my grade memo. I know it’s only supposed to get harder and all, but I can’t help but feel oddly optimistic, like I can actually do this whole med school thing. Plus, doesn’t “MS2” just sound so much more legit than “MS1”? Like I actually belong here and might turn into a doctor one day…
anna in med school 
congrats anna :). to quote shakespeare, the next two years of med school are “better, and yet worse.”
thanks so much, rick! what an appropriate quote–i might have to reuse that one!
love it! how long did that take you?
maybe like 30 mins. I had to google how to do it!
adorbs!
Oh yes you will. And a wonderful doctor you’ll be.
