The Night Before Match Day - Revisited
Hard to believe it's already been a year since my turn at Match Day. Ā Being around the 4th years in the hospital the past few weeks has reminded me of all the excitement and stress this process brings. Ā It's been strange and exciting being on the other side of things this time.Ā Wishing all the best to the 4th years tomorrow and remember: it'll somehow all work itself out.

The Night Before Match Day
With one more sleep ātil Match Day, there are really no words in the English language (or French, for that matter), to describe how I feel.Ā Though these words donāt do the feeling justice, Iāll attempt to say itās a strange mixture of eager anticipation, fear, excitement, nervousness, but most of all, hope.
Tomorrow, Iāll know the results and, fingers crossed, theyāll be what I wished for.Ā But they very well may not be.
Which is why even though Iām feeling nervous today with all the uncertainty, Iām really not doing too bad.Ā Iām imagining both scenarios, matched and unmatched, and have various feelings regarding each.Ā But when I get stuck on a negative aspect of one scenario or another, I can still flip a mental switch and imagine the opposite outcome.Ā Tomorrow, that switch wonāt be able to be flipped anymore.
I know Iāll be okay with whatever happens, eventually.Ā Stuff will somehow figure itself out over time.Ā I may have to adapt my plans, try again, take a detour, but Iāll still get to my destination one way or another.Ā Iād prefer not to take a detour, but who knows, maybe the scenery along that road will be amazing and totally worth it.Ā As the Stones so eloquently put it, you canāt always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need.Ā (Go ahead, enjoy the tune.)
So fellow residency applicants, appreciate the last day of uncertainty for what itās worth.Ā All the best tomorrow.
