January 2016

I wanted to post at least once per month this year of 2016. January has been filled with the start of my Masters in Public Health program at the U of MN. It's an exciting time to be alive, and immersing myself in health care and public health. Other than being extremely busy, i truly enjoy what i'm learning about and where i'm going. This semester will be extremely difficult for me. That is an understatement. Balancing full time work at HCMC, full time grad school, and training for endurance races, does not leave me much time to spend with loved ones, and sleep a little bit here and there. 
I am someone that likes to push my limits and seek boundaries. I think i found some. Writing this down will help me remember this insight. Come June 2016, I will stand victorious at the finish line of the Dirty Kanza 200, having survived that race, successfully completed 8 credits of grad school, and continued to progress in my position at HCMC. 
I continue to find gratitude and inspiration in those around me, and will do my best to not let agitation get the best of me. That is one thing i'm committed to. I will not let grad school turn me into a crabby asshole. If i'm not careful that could happen. Don't let that pressure affect us.
I'm a lucky man.
