Things are changing...

Well, it seems I may be the new contributor for the blog. JM has started med school this week, and I'm not sure how much time he will have to contribute. That said, we are also hoping to take this blog into a different direction. We are hosting a M1 Spouse party at our house this Saturday in hopes of meeting all the married people in his class. From there, my goal is to have a group meet once a week to share frustrations and challenges.

From what we have read, the infamous long hours of studying in med school can take a toll on any relationship. To reduce the stress, all of the experts recommending spending time with others who are in the same boat. The weekly meetings are not designed to be complaining session, but they are more designed to build friendships with people who understand the complications med school can present. A lot of the students have moved here specifically for med school and do not have a family or friends support system in place. Hopefully, we can help to fill this gap within the group.
