Last interview

My friend, Emily, and I drove down to Nashville, Tennessee on Sunday after realizing that her husband wouldn't be able to make the trip with her. So Sunday we checked into the hotel and Emily went to the dinner with the pediatrics residents and I headed off to dinner at Qdoba with myself. The restaurant was on Vanderbilt's campus and the first thing I noticed was all of the Coach, Dooney &Burke, and Louis Vuitton (sp?) purses. I told Ryan that if I were to go to Vanderbilt that we'd have to do some shopping;)

Anyways, Emily had her interview most of Monday and so I took her car and explored Nashville. I was able to get some more Christmas shopping done which seems to be a theme for my interviewing trips. I also drove through Brentwood- a fabulous, large scale home area. That evening, Emily and I explored downtown Nashville and saw the BB King's house of blues, Wild Horse Saloon, and many others. Emily begged to go sing karaoke, but I assured her that she would regret it (totally kidding, Em would never do it!). We ate at the Big River Brewery and then drove back to campus and had dessert at a French bakery. It was so much fun.

Tuesday I had my interview and Emily was kind enough to stay to drop me off at the hospital since Ryan wasn't going to be in until the afternoon. I had a great day meeting the chief residents, program directors and having an 1 1/2 tour of the hospitals. Vanderbilt's campus is large but all within close walking distance.

Tuesday evening Ryan was able to join me for the residents' dinner. We had a good time and then I drove Ryan around for a tour.

Wednesday was a bizarre day spent with a real estate agent- it's an incredibly long story although hilarious so you'll have to ask Ryan or I about it:)

That's all . . .
