The trip to Baltimore was a nice way to start things off, as I got to see some familiar faces. Overall, the experience was pretty laid back, though I am sure that I&#8217;ll be exhausted by the end of December. Right now, I have 15 interviews lined up for the next few weeks, distributed across the country in places like NYC, Philadelphia, Miami, Iowa City, LA, and San Francisco. Next week, I&#8217;ll also head down to Philly for the &#8220;skills&#8221; portion of my Step II board exam. Fortunately, my rotation in ambulatory medicine has been pretty benign, and we were even able to catch a performance of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bostonballet.org\/season\/performances\/LaSylphide.html\">La Sylphide<\/a> by the Boston Ballet last Saturday. The choreography was nicely done, though we did have to miss game 3 of the <a href=\"http:\/\/mlb.mlb.com\/index.jsp\">World Series<\/a> for it.
