How I did it
It made me
musically united 
How I did it: i found an orchestra and i joined it. it's not rocket science, folks.it helped that i knew some people in the orchestra. that i'm related to a person in the orchestra. that didn't hurt at all. it also didn't hurt that it's a civic orchestra you don't need to try out to join. that didn't hurt either...

It made me
proud
How I did it: 1. i asked everyone i knew who might know what are the important things to do if you want to get in. med students, residents, docs, my undergrad med advisor.2. i was an english major, so i had to take the prerequisite classes post graduation. i did that. it helps to work like a dog and ace them.3. shadowed all manner of docs to make sure i was doing the right thing.4. volunteered for same reason as above. also: got a job as an undergradua… Read how I did it…

i so love playing the drums! the only opportunity that i have is when my fellow’s roommate wants to jam on his drum set. the roommate plays bass and keyboard, while i play the drums. and, delightfully, i’m surprisingly good at it (which really adds to my interest). maybe it’s the million years of musical training plus my time in latin american discos that has given me an interesting sense of rhythm. and the fact that i’m not afraid to really pound. anyway, love it love it love it and i really need to make a point to play more often, even if the roommate isn’t around. though i reckon it’s more fun when you jam with others. ahhh drums! who’d have ever thought this for me??
