One Eighth of a Doctor!!

It has been a long time coming. (Christmas break that is)  I did not think that it would get here quick enough!  Retrospectively, I learned two very important things to carry with me through what some may call an evolution:  A. I discovered that the reason as to why my heart beats uncontrollably and I some how pick up “see-through” wall vision is because I add sugar to my coffee!!  B.  I have got to stop second-guessing myself.  My first guess is 90% of the time correct.  I have always had a bad habit of doing this (mostly due to the fact that I am a risk taker or as I like to call it….an adventure on wheels—ask my lab group!)  However, I am now seeing where it at times determines whether or not my B can become an A.  It is in the details that we find out who or what we really are.  Whether or not we are punctual, risk-takers, careful, arrogant, or afraid, it all comes down to that one question that can turn your A into a B or your B into an A.  (I’m an optimist, so I wish a C on NO ONE!)

Since this is the time of year that people usually spend with their loved ones (or in my Grandfather’s words “it is the time of year when you all (the grandkids) rob my pockets…insert a four letter expletive here!!), what better way to end our semester with just that.  I have four great posts that somehow touch on these relationships that we celebrate during this season.  The first is by Student Dr. Washington-Plaskett who talks about the number one man in her life…her dog!! (Well it may be either a tie or a close second because she is definitely a daddy’s girl!)  Following is a break-up letter by Student Dr. Jayanthan that well, I will let this letter speak for itself because he obviously has some things to get off his chest!!!  The last two are juxtapositions of life before and after marriage in medical school by Student Dr. Stephens and Student Dr. Hannam. 

Oh and by the way, one of my best friends just reminded me that I am officially 1/8 of a doctor……mmmmm..that just sounds and smells sooo much better (now that gross is GONE)!!! JJ!!!!

With utmost appreciation,

Best wishes in your endeavors,

Student Dr. Glawson
