If you’re a 2009 residency match applicant looking for a step-by-step manual on how to work with ERAS, this has absolutely nothing to do with that. Stop wasting your time and go do something more productive than reading some slightly hungover, ditzy semi-doctor’s blog.

So I’m back in California, supposedly studying for my last exam which I scheduled for Valentine’s Day (hell yeah!). But then my cousin KG’s dear friend Aimee is getting married in a month, so a kick-ass bachelorette night out is warranted, right? =)

KG drives us down from Long Beach to San Diego, a good 2-hour road trip. When we finally get there, it’s 10pm and the girls are antsy to get out. And then, HORROR. I realize that I left my IDs and passport in LBC. Tempers flare. Haha. Idiot third world resident who keeps forgetting that carding is SOP over here. I think think think about anything I could possibly produce to prove my over-21 identity. I go online, and it hits me.

ERAS!

Oh wonderful electronic residency application service, which has my CAF (common application form), which is my resume-like thing that contains my birthday! Fingers crossed, charms in tow, I bring my 4-page CAF and my credit card to the bouncers.

Surprise surprise, after minimal questioning by the supervisor, they let me in! Mwahahaha! "Good luck with your studies" he even says!

So there goes my story, about how one ghetto Filipina kid with no picture ID manages to get into a swanky club thanks to her CAF. I would like to lay claim on that as The Most Imaginative Thing one can do with her residency application. Thank you very much. Bow.

I promise to be a responsible adult. Starting tomorrow.
