I have a friend in medical school who began blogging during college. For years, he and another one of our friends blogged back and forth about medicine and law - each a topic of interest to the other. And, for those years they had a great thing going on. I was often times struck by their insight and witt about the world, and their powers of observation were something to be desired.
But, in time, the med school examinations and the law school memos got the best of their time. Soon, I found myself visiting infrequently until one day the blogs just stopped. I was disappointed.
It seems that in life we begin so many things only to see the excitement and enthusiasm we once had for them wane, until one day they just stop.
I am not sure if I will be able to keep this blog going in dental school, but I am happy that I have the time now to record my thoughts and memories, so I can reflect on them one day.
Maybe that is why we get so excited about doing things like blogging in the first place - we hope to capture those fleeting moments and thoughts that get tucked away in our undependable memories. Or maybe it is because we believe we have something to say.
In any event, I hope to keep building these memories and record my now young life. And, I hope my desire to keep these memories never just stops.
The purpose of this blog is to write about my preparation for dental school and some thoughts on the dental world in general. Undoubtedly, some random, completely unrelated things will be written here, but dentistry will always be the focus.
