How is it possible that the 2nd year is already half-way over? Time truly does fly when you're having fun - or, when you're being being mercilessly tormented by hyper-intelligent professors with Herculean amounts of information over which you are consistently tested. It is even more extraordinary when one considers that 75% of the didactic information needed for us to be general physicians has been already taught. This idea stuns me as I feel, right now, most incapable of being a doctor. No doubt the 3rd and 4th years of school are intended to mold us into that most enviable professional role.
Until then, I am thoroughly enjoying my three weeks of Christmas vacation. Though I should be studying (and have, to some extent), I have spent most of this time with my family. What a joy it is to reacquaint myself with my children and wife! We have gone to see movies, spent time at home cooking, and stayed up late watching cheesy films from the '70s. This break has reminded me of one of the main reasons why I'm doing this med-school thing in the first place: to make a better future for my family.
School starts again in about a week. I promise to be in touch with you before then. Meanwhile, for me, it's not back to the books yet - I've got a dinosaur to chase with my ten year old son.
