Life...
You guys might remember me as the 15 y/o IB graduate that was a little bit eccentric in the least. After graduating high school in 1997, I spent a year and a half in college, got bored, then enlisted for 6 years in the military as a navy corpsman with the Marines. After leaving active duty in 2004, I finished my bachelors degree while working as a licensed paramedic.
For the last 3 years I've been in medical school and am currently starting my fourth year. I'm also finishing a masters degree in Hyperbaric Medicine. I will begin a residency in neurosurgery in July 2009.

Things that are on my bucket list include snowboarding big mountains in Alaska, ice diving in Antarctica, getting my private pilots license and exploring Africa by small plane, and retiring some day to New Zealand where I can sail to my heart's content one day and stand atop snowy peaks the next.
To all of you guys that I graduated with especially from IB, I want to say hi and hope that you are all happy and doing well. Maybe we can get in touch some day and catch up on old times. Doesn't it seem like ages ago?
