week 16

So, Happy Mothers Day!! I hope everyone is being appreciated more than normal today. Shiloh was so nice as to let me sleep in today, and D got up early this morning and did the dishes. So a great day for me! Finals start tomorrow, and no I cannot believe that. At the same time, I am so ready to get them over with. Shiloh cut her paw Friday, so we have been tending to her, not to mention she has the most pathetic limp. She has gotten lots of treats, as we have had to care for the wound, which she has not been happy about. I know hydrogen peroxide stings, but it is all we have. I felt so bad for her that I bought her some hotdogs, and D put a sheet over the chair to make her more comfortable.

One does not get much more comfortable.

Well maybe they do. This is how she sleeps when she is really out of it. She is in that exact position right now as I sit in the other chair typing. So, for finals, anatomy is first on Monday, it is the all day long final that goes from 8am to 4 pm. So fun, then it is histology on Wed from 8am to 12pm. Lastly is biochemistry on Friday from 8am to 12pm, this is the really scary one! And on Friday at noon, D and I will be done with our first semester of medical school. Hopefully, we can say that we passed our first semester. We have really been studying a lot, and we even went crazy and bought ice-cream and cookies, which are great study foods. They did not have any brownies, which is one of my favorite study foods. The brain needs glucose (sugar)! D even found M&M, chocolate chip cookies. He was in heaven for the hour that they lasted! Our friend M is going to make us caramelized mangoes with vanilla ice cream tonight! YUM!! Not sure how I got off on that food tangent, anyways, D and I have a lot to celebrate this coming weekend. We are postponing our 5 year date (Tuesday May 11th), till after finals, plus the whole, done with final things. We are going to go to fish Friday, which is something that I have wanted to go to since before we even got here. I will tell you all about it, and I will be taking my camera, so it should be awesome! Well, I must get back to studying, I want to be smiling Friday, not crying! Happy Mother's Day!!
