So I just learned that at least two people I know are going to be at a program I was hoping to attend next year. I know this probably sounds petty, but I was really looking forward to meeting lots of new people, and exploring a new city by myself, and all that good stuff. I dont have any serious issues with these folks, but it is a pretty small program, and, man, isnt the world a big enough place that they can find their own city in which to spend the year? And to make it worse, at least one is someone I consider a friend - but a friend who drives me nuts if I spend more than a couple hours with her. Now I feel like I am going to be obligated to spend a fair amount of time with them and their friends (did I mention I dont tend to like her many of her friends? I doubt it will be different there!)
OK, I am done being petty and will now move on with my life. And maybe look at a different program more seriously now. |

I'd be looking at a different program, too. When I did my semester in the UK I ended up with 3 miserable, catty roommates. 2 were roomies from the same college and the third was pretentious, bitchy, and not particularly bright. They all did pretty much everything together and I was mostly on my own to meet up with other people on the program (which was fine, as I met some great people that way), but now I wish I would have opted to do a "flat" situation, instead of renting from an English family--I think then I would have had the great opportunity to meet students from all of the world, not just the US, and I would have been less annoyed each night as I returned home.

| Details. Did some folks not list places for match that they said they would? What are your plans? |

Uhm, this has nothing to do with medicine. I am trying to go abroad next year. I am still unsure if I can make it work.....kind of a longer story than I want to get into, and really not that exciting. I am just bitter. |

| Quote from zoom-zoom on 2/14/2007 at 2:21 AM: So what study abroad locations are you considering? I highly recommend Scotland. Hubby did a year in Aberdeen and it's a really amazing part of the world. I'd live there in a heartbeat!
"Study" is a very loose term. In fact, I only said I am trying to go abroad, not study. Scotland sounds amazing. But way too safe. I was thinking somewhere much closer to a civil war or two in the making. Kenya is just too hot. Jerusalem is close enough for me to several feuds. |
