Living in the moment

My dad is here visiting this weekend between doing some consulting in North Carolina for a couple weeks. Yesterday he gave my friend Kara and me a little pep talk about "living in the moment". (Of course it originated from a baseball analogy but we quickly related it to PA school and powerpoint presentation after powerpoint presentation.) But basically, we can't be worrying about our next test or our next slide while we're studying the slide we're on. We can't be thinking about our board exam if we can't get thru next weeks 3 quizzes, pharmacology exam and OSCE (practial exam). While in his batting stance, Carlos Pena, can't be thinking about how he's going to strike out when he's only got one strike. So, Kara has a blog that she updates to keep up with her friends and family to highlight her "moments" so, I thought I'd do the same since it's really hard sometimes to keep up with everyone. So, here's a look into my life as a grad student in Knox.
