Let's get this ball rolling...

Well, here we go. This blog is an experiment on my part to delve into the world of online journals, as well as a way for me to chronicle my journey through Physician Assistant school, a pivotal point in my ongoing and seemingly never-ending formal education. I'm planning to keep it informative so you all will have an understanding of what the PA educational process is like although I don't want it to be so dry and boring that no one will want to read it, so expect me to also try to keep it light and with appropriate doses of my patented dry and sarcastic wit. I'm hoping to include some pictures and other media, so if all goes well, it won't be as drab as it looks presently.

My intention was to have this blog started *before* school started, though predicatably I'm already a quarter behind, having just recently completed my 1st quarter, and am set to go back to the grind for the 2nd quarter on Tuesday, Sept. 2nd, 2008. Of course, most of you who know my penchant for procrastination are probably chuckling and nodding to yourselves that it is only right and proper for me to begin this little project already playing catch-up. The 1st quarter was a real eye-opener and quite an adjustment, and I plan to do a whirlwind summary of it later this week. However, I needed to get this blog started or it would likely have remained somewhere on my to-do list, never to see the light of day.

Which brings me to the title ... Yes, I realize it's more than a little corny, but I was pressed for time, and as I was brainstorming possible titles, this one popped in my head for some reason and at the time inexplicably seemed snazzy, so you know what? I'm going with it. The first person who saw it immediately erupted into a fit of laughter, as I'm sure some if not most of you did as well, but I've always said I don't mind being the butt of ridicule, so laugh it up jokers! Okay, I am starting to ramble so I think I'll sign off for now, but before I sign off for now, I'll leave you with a quote, and I welcome all comments, requests, and/or suggestions for future entries. Feel free to leave some feedback, whether it's your interpretation of the daily quote, random thoughts, or even just a quick jab at my hackneyed blog title!

Today's quote comes from Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw:


There are two tragedies in life. One is not to get your heart's desire. The other it to get it.
