The grades are in and I received a 4.0!
This past semester I took: Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Health Care Financing and Delivery Systems. I worked hard this semester and had to find a balance between work, school, and my personal life. What I found the most difficult was finding the right balance between studying a lot and spending time with my wife. I think I found it by mid October, but we’ll see how it goes next semester.
I went into this semester with a bit of an academic chip on my shoulder because various people didn’t think I could succeed. Some questioned whether or not I could complete the heavy math classes like Biostats or Epi based on my test scores and transcripts. Well, I think it is safe to say that I’ve proved them wrong.
Now that I’m further into my public health studies, I think it is proper to temporarily stop writing under this blog name. I haven’t given up my goal to medical school. Rather, I would like to write about public health and medicine under my name, rather than The Road to Medical School. I’ll be posting the link to the new blog after I do some minor changes to it. Brit and I are flying to Hawaii on Tuesday and we’ll be back in Savannah by the New Year. Look out 2012. 2011 was a great year and I’m coming at your hard.
