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.

Calm before the storm (and after for that matter)

So... it's been a while.  This will be a very brief attempt to get back in the saddle.  The past three months can be summed up in a few short words:  Master's thesis paper and defense, baby girl, move to rural Tennessee.  Those three things have consumed the last three months of my life and the reason I have abstained from blogging.  However, school is about to start in just over two weeks and since the purpose of this blog was to show that med school is not all consuming, I must make time for this blog, haha.  Future posts will concern school, our adjustment to the new local, and the resurrection of my running "career".
