|priorities and such|

so, i reprioritized my life for the next year. the problem in medicine is that you never really know what the next year will bring.

actually, i didn't reprioritize my life so much as my life forced me to do it. and it was pretty easy. not really. i guess it's never easy to rearrange life. the doing part is hard, but the thinking part wasn't so difficult. i think my priorities just did this lava-lamp kind of thing where the most important layer floated to the top. oil on water.

and, of course, family came out on top. that was a no-brainer. i guess that is what i meant by it not being so hard.

so this means that, indirectly, studying for the boards came out second. because that is also in the best interests of the family. more so than work. work took a dive to last place... behind even cleaning my bathrooms.

the doing part will be hard, but it will work itself out, too. i have faith.
