I'm blogging from sunny Southern California! Only it's not sunny at all. In fact, the weather may be rainier than in the Bay Area right now. Oh well.
Danny and I interviewed at Loma Linda University School of Medicine a couple of days ago. It was a good experience. I enjoyed the school's Christian mission and approach to medicine. Also, it was my first interview that started at a later hour--11am!--and there was no compounding time difference to make me extra sleepy (8am EST was terrible to wake up for every time). Hurray California!
Just a quick story: on my way to my faculty interview at the medical center, I stopped and asked a girl for directions. A suited man speeding past stopped and said, "Interview? Let me take you!" I thought he might be on the admissions committee or something, but turns out he was just a really helpful doctor. We wandered around lost for several floors, and on the way he introduced me to his residents and told me stories. Eventually we made it--a little flustered and out of breath, but I was grateful nonetheless. If I hadn't been in such a time crunch to make a good impression with my faculty interviewer, I would've liked to chat with him more.

It also felt great to meander around campus at a leisurely pace after the interview instead of taking a cab to the airport right away. Danny and I took advantage of the Southern California traffic on the way back to debrief our interviews. I'm glad we had the opportunity to experience this together.
