Deja View
I am back in Chicago after a 2 month absence. Nothing has changed, and yet everything is different.
When I left, Chicago was home, I was just starting on the interview trail, and I was applying for a completely different specialty.
Having returned with all my interviews completed, and the optho match merely a dream from which I had to wake all too soon, I am looking on my home of the last 5 years with slightly different eyes.
I am only ranking one program from Chicago, and it is not even in my top 5. Essentially this means that even before the Match results are announced on March 19, I know that I will be leaving Chicago in 2 months, possibly never to return-at least to live.
The city has become as much a friend to me as my classmates, and it’s sad to think that we all go our separate ways in just a few months.
But nothing lasts forever…a lesson I have learned all too many times in the last 5 years, and one I am sure will be reiterated again.
So in my remaining time here, I will endeavor to revisit a few old haunts, and explore as many nooks and crannies as I can before it is once again time to day goodbye.

Was it you that said there was some kind of truffle oil to be obtained there? I’m very enamored by truffle oil ever since I had some at my favorite restaurant in Big Bear… If so, you should totally go there again. It’s very hard to find good truffle oil so that place must be a gem. :-p
