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.

Deja Vu?

Is it just me or do all my posts sound something like, "From now on I will do better at updating this blog"?  Well this will be a break from the norm.  I'm in medical school and it's quite possible I won't have the time or endergy to post, or the mental capacity to remember my username and password.  But if I feel like it I will.  I like that. More honest.  Things have been going pretty well.  This semester is very tough and I feel dumber and dumber as it progresses.  We are over the hill now through with 4 of 6 block exams in the books, along with most of our clinical experiences and lab practicals complete as well.  I can't make any wild claims about the status of my performance until this past exam's grades are posted, but up until that point I was dooing ok with 2 A's, 2 very  high B's and 2 low B's.  Unfortunatley, I believe my grade landscape might have drastically changed for the worse last Friday.  Oh well, won't know until a couple more days.  Just hope I'm in the Bell curve, don't want to be an outlier.
