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.

Thesis Update

So I had my meeting with my committee chair yesterday and it went really well.  We reviewed the power point presentation (about 40 slides so far) I've been preparing for my progress meeting with the entire committee that hopefully will take place in the next two weeks.  He had many great ideas to improve the presentation and I am to make the recommended changes and additions in the upcoming week at which point we will reconvene.  Also deadlines are starting to come fast and furious and how well I manage my time over the next six weeks will determine if I will meet these deadlines and ultimately graduate this spring.  Speaking of deadlines the first is my actual graduation application which is due by Tuesday complete with signatures and a check (of course).  Ok it's late and I actually have plans to run in the morning so......goodnight!
