CARMS

Yes, Canadian Automated Residency Matching Service. Also know as lottery.

I think its going to be the death of me. Who would think that it would take so long to write a personal letter or that you would have to make so many changes. And then its the having to have a backup incase you don't get into the program that you want. Its probably one of the most frustrating things that I've ever done. Because eventhough I've will soon have completed ten years of university, I may not get into the residency program that I want.

So I therefore call the system the lottery.

Well all the paper work is due for the lottery on Friday. Thanks god I'm soon finished. I have everything saved on my trusty USB port because I'm just not brave enough to trust my computer with all my personal letter revisions. Yes the computer that sounds like an airplane is taking off when I start it, the computer that will be going in for repairs when I go to Australia, because who really needs a computer in Australia. That is if I don't breakdown and buy a Apple before then. I'm on an apple kick right now. I want to get one bad but I don't want to add the cost to my line of credit. I'm still thinking about it. But then how can I justify 3 laptops.

Oh life is full of decisions

Well after all my stuff is in to CARMS I will be going out for a good drink and start praying that I'll actually get some interviews.

Cross your fingers for me
