My daughter's birthday is today. She turned 5. I haven't seen her in a week nor will I see her for another week and a half because she's with my parents (so's my 3 year old son) a state away so I can study for this thing.

That does suck, maybe you can call her on the webcam (don't know if your parents have one). It will be worth it for you, and provide her with a nice future, so she'll forgive you 🙂

Nope, none of us have one. I tried calling her on the cell phone, but my parents didn't answer. She LOVES my parents and is having a whole lot more fun there than she would here. Her cousins all live in the area, and I guess they've been spending a lot of time on the slip-n-slide, and with my dad on the 4 wheeler/tracter. I know she's having a great time. I just feel a little bad about it.

the sacrifices we make. hah! life feels like one big sacrifice at this point. i have become quite the misanthrope throughout this process. i find that i have little patience for my fellow man. this is not healthy. i have neighbors who throw nightly parties, and part of me loathes them for making a racket at 3:30 in the morning, and another part of me wishes I could be that carefree. crap crap crap.

I'm 30 and I've got two kids I've hardly been seeing because I've been studying for this thing so I feel your pain lilnoelle. Add that to the fact that I totally bombed a block of UW questions today after I thought I'd levelled out at 65-70%.

Fun times...fun times.

You'll get a lot of low numbers here, out of selection bias. Young 'uns are usually pretty proud of how young they are, for some reason.

Hey, I'm proud of being the oldest person who has posted in this thread so far. Hopefully all the really old fogies will come out of the woodwork now that we have a poll. 😉

33, three kids (one dx w/ALL right before acceptance letter), 1 wife, 1 day post-step, current CAGE 3+ (No guilt). I'll probably be back down to CAGE 0 in a week or so.

I'm digging that there are some "experienced" folk out there who aren't afraid to say so. 😀

I'm 30. I went straight from undergrad to do my PhD, then to med school. I finished MS2 last year and have been doing a research year (plus step 1). I am back on the wards this fall and graduate in 2010. I have 2 kids at home as well (2, 6).

I'm 41, but certainly don't feel like it.

Balancing a life and study with a 12 yo, 7 yo, and spouse is a challenge; luckily, they have been great! Taking Thursday evening off this week to celebrate our 16th anniversary.

I'll be a month shy of my 43rd birthday. As an inspiring friend said, I can be 45 and a doctor or 45 and not a doctor.

Nope.

Over here we do not have "college". We have six years of Med. School plus one year of internship.
