So much has happened last time! Spring semester is OVER! Summer semester began today! And... Mike and I are engaged! Whew!
Mike and I got engaged at J Parrino's on May 6th! It was a beautiful dinner, but we hadn't even ordered dinner, and before I knew what was happening, Mike was on one knee! It was amazing. He's amazing, and I'm SO lucky. :) Little did I know what he had up his sleeve! Andy's Frozen Custard was for dessert, so we headed over after dinner. He had invited all our family on both sides and all our friends. I'm telling you--he's good. I SQUEALED more than I ever have, and I cried so many happy tears. We decided, when we got home that night, that we have the BEST friends and family ever. EVER.
Mike and I would get married tomorrow if we could. Is this going to happen? Is it even reasonable? Ha ha... NO. So far, we still don't have a date. We have a venue, colors, a guest list, and a photographer. But that's all the planning I have gotten to do so far! Mike and I agree that we would like to get married anytime we could, but we are keeping practicality in mind as well--that includes timing. Mike is going back to school this August, and I am going to be full-speed-ahead until December 2010. We will see what happens. But for now, this makes for some good writing! I'll keep you posted!


Speaking of school, I am DONE with one of the hardest semesters of my life. Spring 2009 is one for the record books. I finished with a beautiful 3.13 GPA. Amazing? Spectacular? Perfect? No, no, and no. But--there are no Cs on my grade report, and I simply didn't think that was possible. I got all the points I needed by spending some late night staring bleary-eyed at books. No coffee past noon. You know what I mean by that. :)
Summer semester started today, and this is what they is one of the best semesters. It's pedal-to-the-metal all the way through the semester. On the other hand, I am going to be learning some amazing things that I will see in practice. If there was ever a time for ABSORBING all the information I learn and NOT purging it out of my mind, now is the time. My classes--pharmacology, clinical assessment II, clinical medicine I, and professional issues seminar. Honestly? I'm excited. Unless I am completely ignorant about what may blind-side me this semester, this looks GREAT!!!
Well, back to the dermatology. Nothing like folliculitis, dermatitis, pustules, vesicles, Herpes, and telangiectasias. :)
