a new life begins, very soon

Just a quick update for all those I don't speak with frequently. I am always curious about the new developments in my friends live so I am making a supposition that others may share that same curiosity. The update is now:

I am graduating freakin' medical school in May. It has been 4 years of feeling dumb. One attending (a doctor post residency) commented that he didn't really know what he was doing (or hit his groove) until 5 years after residency. If I follow my current goal and have a similar experience, that will be in 10 years from this May. My goal is to become a surgeon. One step closer to that includes getting into a surgical residency which I call "surgery school". I have been "matched" in a general surgery residency with St. John's Hospital-Oakland Campus and start my first year (internship) in Late June. I have most of May and June off so if any of my peeps want to see me before my life ends in July, give a holler.

More soon...
