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.

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.
