been awhile

it has been awhile since i/we have posted. things have been busy/boring. amy and the boys left to visit her family in the middle of june. i have been a bachelor ever since. being a bachelor was nice for ~ the first week, after that it became very boring. i miss my family. luckily, i will be catching a plane to go see them. yay! looking forward to seeing my family and then getting back home and finding some sort of routine again.

All A’s (but just barely)

I finished finals last week with a few comfortable A’s and one “by the skin of my teeth” A.

Pharmacology, for those of you that have not had this blessed experience, is a tough class. Basically, pure memorization. For someone like me who prefers to see how things work, this type of class is much harder than, say, A&P where you can visualize muscles moving like levers, food being broken down through the digestive tract and so on.

I went into my final test with a 91.15 (a 92% is an A and they do not round). I studied my butt off, got a 96% which brought my overall up to 91.89. My first B+ since I started back to school? Lucky for me, if less than 30% of the class gets a question right, we get the points back. So, thank you to all of you that missed the same 2 questions, giving me 4 points for a 100% on the test and an overall grade of 92.33%!!! It may not be the best way to end up with an A but all things considered, I’ll take it and be happy with it.

my dream job?

another quiz came across on one of my feeds… here is my result… what do you think?

The Big Fat <What Would Your Dream Job Be?> Quiz

Medical

Includes: pharmacist, doctor/ pediatrician, veterinarian, nurse, chiropractor/ massage therapist, dentist/ optometrist, psychologist

You are caring, dedicated, and an intellectual. Your negative traits may be your tendancy to over-work yourself, put career before family, or be unhumorous. You’d be perfect for a job in a medical career because you are interested in discoveries, have genuine interest in people, and can apply yourself.

what am i missing?

my boy is growing up

guy just lost his first tooth! we’ve been expecting it now for a few weeks, and we’ve been telling him to keep wiggling it.

well tonight he was doing just that and he got most of the tooth out by himself. he comes over to me and say’s dad look! can you help me get it out. we went to the bathroom and cleaned up his mouth. i grabbed hold and gave a little tug. pop! his first tooth was out!

yay!

he’s very excited about the tooth fairy coming tonight. since he is camping out on his brothers floor, we are making a note for the tooth fairy to let her know where he and the tooth are… just in case she goes to his room.

here are some pictures.
