I think that most blogs get to be like this. The blogger promises to start writing and then waits months and months to post something new, not because nothing interesting has been happening, but because s/he has been a lazy sod. So with that in mind, I don't promise to change my nature and I will most likely go some time before posting again.
Things have been very interesting since I last wrote here. I took on many more clients through the SRSC in the spring of 2011, I got married (both legally in the US and religiously in India), I took a full science courseload for nearly a year in Santa Barbara and did very well in my classes (even getting to work on human cadavers), and I have decided to try to become an officer in the US Army Medical Specialist Corps (AMEDD). I've been working on that last one for exactly a year now and have done everything in my power to make myself a competitive applicant for the Army-Baylor program (located at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, TX). I've made weekly trips to Fort Knox, KY from Bloomington, IN to observe physical therapy as practiced in a military setting and have finally finished the medical entrance exams for the military (well, "finished" might be a little bit hasty, as I still have to be tested to be OK'd for my two episodes of syncope). I'm really in a state of limbo though, as I don't whether I'll be deemed physical fit for military service. And even if I am, I may simply be OML'd (waitlisted) and be forced to wait an additional year to apply again.
But some good news is that Ishani and I are preparing to move to Arlington, VA for her job as the Associate Director of Research at the Georgetown University McDonough School of Business (that's a mouthful). We're really excited for her, especially given the hard time she's gone through to get to this point. She's generally awesome and will do really good work there.
I'll try to post again when I've learned anything new about Army-Baylor. I'll probably be receiving a call for my telephone interview next month and will let you know then how I thought it went.
