Shortie: Accumulating the Miles

Above: Summer 2009. my 2002 Ford Focus with 22500+ miles on it.

ROADS? WHERE WE'RE GOING...
WE DON'T NEED ROADS.

Wrong, Doc Brown. For my adventure we're going to need them, and lots of them.

Starting February 15th, you'll start to hear about some of my adventures on the wards. I'll be honest: I think its too cliche to measure an adventure by days, so I'm going to go out on a limb and do it in miles. You see, my Ford Focus is 7.5 years old and has been to many places and been through many things (inclusive of: high school prom, Walt Disney World, college, weddings, blizzards, and even into stupid potholes). However, even with all that, my car still just has over 22,500 miles on it (as I've been away from the U.S. for a while). So, to me, as much as this will be important for my car to get the miles, I see my clinical years as a rite of passage, as with each mile I get on my car, I'm a mile closer to getting my M.D. and hopefully my residency.

Most of my drives will be commuting, but there will be others which will be much more than that. So... Stay tuned. We'll get that odometer running soon.
