Well, I took my husband's advice and finally started my blog. For a while now I had been lamenting the fact that I could find no bloggers in my situation already writing. I guess there just aren't that many older medical students out there who are also moms to multiple young children. They exist, but as I already know it's very difficult to squeeze much of anything else onto our already full plates. But I'm going to try, maybe not for my own reasons but for my kids, who can someday read these musings and know (if not remember; they're very young now) what these crazy medical school days were like. Hopefully along the way someone else in my situation, looking for support and affirmation among like peers, will relate to my experiences and appreciate our journey that much more.
So what am I doing? Well, I hope to write equally about all the interesting facets of my journey: marriage, motherhood, food, and medicine. However, I'm sure the distribution may not be as equal as I want because school will inevitably take over my brain here in about a month. I'll be starting my second year of medical school and will be immersed in a new level of craziness, learning at a quicker pace than first year while keeping the USMLE Step 1 board examination in the back of my mind (I take that monster of an exam at the end of second year).
Here goes. Buckle up kids, it's going to be a wild ride!
