Happy/Sad/Confused
So I went to the CaRMS party last night. It was nice, very loud, but overall bittersweet. A number of people got their first choice and I'm deliriously happy for them, but quite a few didn't. One good friend got her number two, which is lovely, but she didn't get the specialty she wanted and was a little upset.
My bridesmaids all did good: #2 got her first choice out east, so I've got a definite visit to Halifax in my future! #3 got the specialty she wanted, and has an adventure waiting for her in Southern Ontario! And #4 got her first choice, bittersweet as it was, and is going to be a Northern Girl with me (or more like a more-northern-northern-girl)
But other friends didn't do so well. Some didn't get their specialty, some did got but weird and wacky locations across the country. And three in our class didn't match at all.
So ... happy-sad. It was a nice, but different, night. But I'm glad I went, because even those who didn't get exactly what they wanted found some joy in their positions, and I think facebook is going to be a very interesting ride this year :)
