Ever feel like you don't know what to do with your life? Not sure you could choose one career for the rest of your life? Well that's exactly how I felt for a long time. In fact my dream of becoming a physician did not really begin until two years ago when my wife was already 3 months pregnant. It was towards the end of my graduate coursework that I realized I wanted to pursue a career as a medical doctor. I began this blog about one year before I was accepted and sparsley documented my MCAT prep and addmissions process. Now that I am in I will be recording how well (or not so well at times) I handle the rigors of being a husband, father, and medical student. My intention is to show that one can have a family and hobbies and still be a successful medical student. I hope this blog will be an inspiration to others taking a non traditional path to their career and also be a little entertaining.

Game On.

So, this is my first blog post and with it comes a couple of New Year's resolutions. One is to actually update this blog often if not daily. The second and of course most important is to dedicate at a minimum 1 hour of every single day over the next 5 months to studying for MCAT or Organic Chemistry, with at least 30 minutes going to MCAT subjects other than organic. This however, is only my minimum and most days I will need to spend much more than this. Although the exact date is not known yet I will be taking the MCAT sometime in June so let the countdown begin. I will try to update my progress daily along with exciting daily happenings (like changing 3 poopy diapers before 10AM yesterday). OK back to the books.
