It's Saturday.
So I just finished my psych elective that I talked about in my last video and I have
this weekend to get a lot of things done.
So right now I have an empty block meaning I don't have anything scheduled at the hospital
so I'm gonna take advantage of that and go Korea.
I'm gonna be leaving on Wednesday.
I'm gonna go see my parents and maybe get my Lasik done in Korea as well.
Since I'm leaving in a few days.
There is a lot of things that I have to get done before I go.
So I have to clean my apartment, I have to do laundry, pack and find somebody to take
care of Candy and things like that.
So it's gonna be a packed week.
I'd also like to go to the gym and eat all the food that I have in the apartment and
things like that.
So definitely gonna bring you guys along with me throughout the weekend.
This is my monthly planner for this month.
So you guys can see I'm going to Korea for about ten days.
I'm actually gonna fly straight into San Francisco and spend a few days there as well.
So lots of traveling.
Something else coming up in February is my rank order list is due--meaning the list of
residency programs that I'd like to go to...
I have to make a list of my top choice to my bottom choice and submit that by February
21st.
So that's something that I've been thinking about as well.
Let's take a quick peek into March.
So in March I have another trip to Palm Springs, right before Match Day and then right after
Match Day, I'm gonna be going to Miami.
This is all that yellow thing here.
Then I have my friend's bridal shower and my birthday so there is a ton happening in
March as well.
So to explain Match Day to those of you who are not familiar, it's basically the day when
all the 4th year medical students find out where they're gonna go for residency.
So the rank list that I have to submit basically by February 21st is the rank list of all the
programs that you interviewed at and have liked and you rank it from top choice to bottom
choice and the programs actually make a rank list too... of all the candidates that they
interviewed.
So you make a list and they make a list and there is a computer algorithm that looks at
both list and basically does it's own thing to figure out where you should go for residencies.
Almost all the fourth year medical student will find out March...
I think it's March 16th.
It's always a Friday where they're gonna be spending their residencies.
I say almost because Urology already did their match and Ophthalmology already had their
match earlier in the year so they already know where they're gonna go.
So very dramatic and exciting day and I can't wait to find out where I'm gonna go for residency
but also I'm very nervous too.
So yeah!
That's match day.
Alright so I'm gonna get started on my to-do list and I'm gonna start with cleaning the
apartment.
Alright so I'm gonna start the packing process for Wednesday.
Still have a few more days so I'm gonna start packing but I'm not gonna finish it today.
I like to do it this way so I don't forget anything for the next few days.
Like if I remember that I need to bring something I'll just put it in this suitcase.
So after I get this started I'm gonna head out to the gym.
So usually Candy gets really nervous when I take this out because she knows that I'm
leaving.
Sorry Candy.
Suitcase within a suitcase.
Alright so I just got back from the grocery store.
I didn't get a ton of stuff cause I am leaving for Korea in about 4 days so it's just the
stuff that I'm gonna be eating for the next 4 days or things that I can put away in the
freezer.
So I got some strawberries and I got this crispy kale-slaw which I love mixing in with
my salad or I add it as a topping when I make like a little chicken wrap or like a taco
or a burrito kind of thing.
So I got this tortilla also.
This is blue corn one and they were giving out samples so I tried and it was really good
so I got this.
I got some matcha and some of these honey crisp apples--these are my favorites and they're
usually pretty expensive but they were on sale today so I got a bunch.
Last but not least, I got some chicken.
I got family pack so I'm just gonna keep some of it in the freezer and eat maybe one of
it within the next few days and that's it!
So today I'm going to be working on some admin stuff.
So you guys know that I just finished psych rotation and every time we finish a course,
we have to evaluate the course and give our feedback on what we thought.
So I have to fill that form out.
Couple other things that I'm working on--I'm leaving for Korea on Wednesday so before that
I have to see if anyone can come and look after Candy.
So I'm probably gonna ask some friends and if not I'm gonna ask a cat sitter that I've
worked with before.
I know I've talked about it a bunch of times but Match Day is in March and basically everything
that I need to do on my end is now done so meaning I've compiled my rank list, I've submitted
it and of course I can still change it until I think sometime in February but for the most
part all the interviews are done, rank list is done and basically there is nothing really
for me do on my part except wait until middle of March to find out where I'm gonna be next
year for the next 3 to 4 years.
So it's pretty nerve wracking and... you know I feel like I have to keep myself occupied
and keep myself busy so that I'm not kind of obsessing over my rank list and things
like that.
I'd like to know where I'm gonna be next year obviously.
I think nobody likes this uncertainty... but anyway I'm gonna be sharing with you guys
as things happen and of course I'll be vlogging every step of the way.
You guys will be in on the information.
"Candy, candy!
Are you mad at me?"
"Hmmm.."
So you guys know that I've been trying to train Candy and we've been working with some
treats and I feel like she's made some really great progress.
Let's take a look.
"Alright Candy, Paw!"
"Ohhhhh!"
Your time to shine.
Paw!
Alright guys so we are headed to gym now.
Headed out to go workout and I am maybe gonna get lasik in Korea so I was told that I should
not wear contacts for the next... until I get the surgery so that's why I'm going in
my glasses.
I'm thinking about getting Airpods.
You know those like little headphones with no wires.
If you guys have them, let me know what you think.
Right now I have the JayBird bluetooth wireless which just has wires around.
So it goes into your ears like this.
But I've seen a lot of people with Airpods.
They look cool.
No they look stupid but then they look cool now because I've seen it so many times so
I'm curious.
Let me know.
(Laughter) Why are you laughing?
No cause you were like they look cool but then no they look stupid.
We are back from the gym.
Had a quick dinner and now headed out to watch a movie.
I think I talked to you guys about movie pass before but it's basically like a monthly subscription
and you can go watch movies like unlimited at the theaters so I've been going to a lot
of movies lately.
Tonight we're gonna try to watch The Shape of Water.
So I'm headed out.
I'm wearing Bae's varsity jacket.
I really like it.
So it is night time now.
Got a ton of stuff done today.
My apartment is clean.
Which I love because when I travel I love to come home to a clean apartment so I like
to clean right before I leave.
Went to they gym, had a good workout, ate some of my food in the fridge so it doesn't
go bad.
I am nowhere near being done packing so I'll continue to pack for the next few days.
So I think I'm gonna close the vlog here but before I close I wanted to make a quick announcement
about all the merchandize shipping.
I've gotten a couple e-mails about you guys who pre-ordered the merchandize asking when
it's going to be shipped to you guys.
So the entire merchandize is being shipped to me right now from the manufacturer so as
soon as it gets here I will be shipping everything out.
So the next couple days will the last time you can order everything at the pre-order
sale price.
Once the shipment gets to me, the pricing on the website will go back to regular pricing.
So go ahead and go to thestrivetofit.com and check out the merchandize which the embroidery,
lettering.
I'm really happy with how everything turned out.
So hopefully you guys like it too.
I should be getting my haircut in the next couple days so hopefully you guys will see
it in social media... probably not in one of this vlogs until next week as least.
So hope you guys are enjoying the vlogs.
I'm gonna continue to vlog in Korea and hopefully I can show you guys some of interesting things
there.
Thank you guys so much for watching and I will see you guys next video.
Bye!!
