hooray!

Good news!  I passed my boards!  Take that NBDE part 1!  The scores came in the mail today, and I think I did pretty well.  I'm not quite sure what a good score is (because I have no information to compare it to), but I am pretty pleased with how I did.  It is nice to know officially that all my hard work paid off (and I don't have to take it again)!  I promise I will write another longer update soon (mostly about the rats and the ongoing lab projects...and no more internet images because I have taken some pictures of my own!)  But right now I am in a bit of a food coma since I celebrated passing the boards by going to one of my favorite Italian restaurants with some friends.  I think it is time for bed.
