After 25 years of formal education, I am DONE!

It was August 1983, a hot Louisiana day, and I started my 1st day of kindergarten at Most Blessed Sacrament School in Baton Rouge, La. Nearly 25 years later, I have just finished up my anesthesiology residency at Georgetown in Washington, D.C. DONE! FINITO! COMPLETE! It's all a bit surreal! I can't believe I am finally no longer a student. Well, technically I guess the last 4 years I haven't really been a student, just a lowly overworked & underpaid resident. But it is exhilarating to finally be done and moving on to my first REAL job. You know, the one most people get after college or high school. It's been a LONG road, but I think it will all pay off! Now, I'm busy studying for the boards - August 4th - YIKES! Well, I'm back to studying. Just a quick break to let everyone know that after all (the premed classes, the MCAT, med school, the boards, & residency), Chrissy and I made it through it. And it feels FRICKIN' GREAT! Thanks to everyone reading this who has helped me along the way- I really appreciate your support.
