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 2

Well, today I applied to graduate with an M.S. from UAH.  I still have three main components of the degree to complete in the next 6 weeks, but I at least now see the light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully after my meeting with my advisor on Thursday I will get the go ahead to have a progress meeting with the entire committee which would be the last big step prior to my defense.  It's taken almost four years to get to this point, but for all intensive purposes I haven't really completed any part of my thesis, and now all of it will be coming together and needs to be done in the next six weeks.  Nerve racking, but I know I can do it.  So...back to work.  Goodnight!
