I look for blogs that catch my interest, these usually being personal celebrity (not gossip!), travel or doctor's blogs, as I am home most of the time. I love reading personal celebrities blogs since you get to know them not as the celebrity you see on TV but rather who they're not on TV. It's nice to know that they're just as ordinary as you an I.

Instead of taking the diplomate boards in March, I decided to skip it and take it in November. Reasons: 1.) I wasn't ready 2.) I was tired 3.) I was scared. Normally, others would start putting up their practice right after graduation and start their review in the process.
