This post is a continuation of my ‘Day in the Life’ series. As I’ve mentioned before, my blog serves two purposes: to share experiences with friends and family, but also to chronicle them for personal reflection and preservation of the memories.
The ‘Day in the Life’ series is an attempt to take a snapshot picture of my schedule at various points along my training. The day’s outline is representative on average, although there’s always considerable variation from day-to-day. I hope that it will be interesting to later look back, and compare between the phases. Since the ‘Day in the Life’ series has principally personal relevance, I apologize that it will likely lack interest to you, the reader. This one’s mostly for my own memory-bank!
