Didn't I just mention how the weeks were going by, and here I am on a Friday afternoon. Goodness, its flying. Too bad most of this week ended up being a waste for Kyle on the studying front. I guess their professor had some "paperwork" issues and couldn't get here from the states, so they cancelled class on Tuesday and Wednesday, and finally changed that class out for another so they could start on Thursday. So, the much-anticipated Pathology has been put on hold. This worries Kyle because he really needed to get to the meat and potatoes of the USMLE subject matter prior to taking the midterm (which is a mock USMLE exam). Instead, they are working on the lower-yield (but important none-the-less) Anatomy.
This week has also been an interesting one on the 'what will the next 2 years bring?' front. We have always intended to stay at UAG for the entire 4 years and then go to NYC for their 5th pathway program. This week though, our friend (from AZ and also attending UAG) went to interview at a different school and has applied to transfer. He came home so excited about it, and as hard as we tried, we couldn't help but wonder if we were doing the right thing by insisting on staying. It would take WAY too long for me to detail out all the pros and cons of going vs. staying and to be honest, I'm very conflicted about it all. At this point though, we've made the tentative decision to apply soon and hopefully we'll have made a definite decision about going or staying by the time he is scheduled to fly to his interview.
The biggest pro about transferring would be : MOVING BACK TO THE STATES!! :o I can hardly imagine being home again.
I have this monster bruise on my boob. (Yup, you wanted to know that, huh?) I can't decide if Sully was nursing on the wrong spot or if its the result of a nasty bite. (Neither would be surprising.) Either way, it looks pretty painful, but isn't too bad.
I kept the kids home from school yesterday. We had a late night on Valentine's Day (Wednesday). The kids were over at friends' house w/ a babysitter until 10:30 while we had 3 couples over for a homemade Valentine's Dinner. We barbecued steaks and had sparkling cider. Kyle and I set up the table out in the backyard and put our tiki torches around the yard w/ candles on the table. It turned out to be such a good date. We had originally planned to watch a movie on the wall w/ our friend's projector, but we spent so much time talking and eating that our dinner took all night and we all left to collect our kids and get them to bed.
I kept the kids home today (Friday) because I'm pretty sure Adeline has a bladder infection, and Guthrie says he has a sore throat. They've been cute and so far its been a pleasant day. We have a babysitter for tonight. We decided that Friday night dates would be what we spent our Christmas Jar money on. ($ that we got from Kyle's parents w/ a cute book. The idea is that you use the money the year you receive the jar, and throughout the year you collect all your pocket change in the jar and at Christmas you give it away to someone who needs it. Cute, eh?)
