It&#8217;s probably a bit more hardcore than I needed for ophthalmology &#8230; ok, a LOT more hardcore &#8230; but I&#8217;ll get to work at the same place as Melody! Looking back, the infamous <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nrmp.org\/res_match\/yearly.html\">Match Day<\/a> has been comparatively anti-climactic for early-matchers like me. For others, this was a much bigger deal, as this recent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2008\/03\/19\/fashion\/19beauty.html\">article<\/a> in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\">Times<\/a> would attest to.
