I wanna go back. . .

. . . to the island

Well, well, well. Nine days and counting till I board the big bird for Nevis. Brian will be "graduating" from basic sciences, and we plan on enjoying three days alone on the island before bringing Brian home for good. I have a packing list ready and am just biding time. I dare say Brian also has a packing list ready and is just biding time. LOL

In the meantime, I started a new class and need to read about curriculum theory. Exciting, hey?

Time for an Update

Well, I just finished a course in Learning and Development Theory. Yes, it was not necessarily stimulating at times, but I did learn a lot. I am glad, however, that the course is over!

Brian is only 20 something days away from being home! FOR GOOD! In fact, I will be on Nevis in 18 days! I asked for a few things: 1) a hike up Mount Nevis, 2) a ride on Lennox's boat, and 3) a lot of beach time. I will be on Nevis for FIVE days this time - my shortest trip yet. The whole purpose is to watch Brian get his White Coat, and I am looking forward to this trip almost as much as my previous jaunts to the island.

On one hand, I will be saddened to say farewell to Nevis, although I do not think for a minute that this will be my last time on that island. On the other, I am soooooooooooooo looking forward to having my husband in our bed for extended periods of time beyond two weeks!!!!!!

I think our next adventure takes us across the pond to Ireland. I will update when I know more. In the meantime, we are going to train for the Indianapolis half-marathon, which is in May. We plan on meeting up with Danielle and Jaime there. It should be a great time!

Well.....

I know, I know! My bad!

Let's see. I started a class in developmental and learning theory - what a freaking drag! The prof needs a wake-up call and more personality skills.

We finished term 1 at work - so we are 25% there! Yes, that's burnout talking!

Micha and Nolan are doing exceptionally well in school. We are so proud of them!

I have 32 days until I head to Nevis for Brian's "graduation", which is called the White Coat ceremony in the U.S. Basically, that's the time when the students move from basic sciences into the clinical rotation portion of medical school. Think John Carter on ER for the first two seasons.

Nonetheless, I am looking forward to my very very brief visit to the Island. Believe it or not, I miss the freaking place. Brian was home a few weeks ago, and there was a major storm. Our apartment flooded, so he was afforded the "opportunity" to clean when he arrived. He found a crab, yes a LIVE crab, behind some furniture. Yes, it was quite the weather event!

We received an email from the USMLE people that Brian's application to take the Step 1 is in process! All we need to wait for is the "pink card", which gives permission to set a test date. Just so you know, that lovely step 1 test sets one back almost 700 USD!

Well, that's all for now folks.
