The Cubs are in Philadelphia! Will, my local Cubs fanatic, and I are going to the game tonight and Sunday. Sarah and some other friends will be joining us, too. One of my fellow teachers told me that tonight was teacher appreciation night, so the timing couldn't be better!
My school had our monthly faculty meeting today. Our discussion was mostly about end-of-the-year events. It's crazy to think that school will be done in a month. Didn't it just start a few weeks ago? Yowzers.
Speaking of teacher appreciation, this week was national teacher appreciation week! And nurses and hospital appreciate week as well. Kinda nice that they grouped the service professions together like that. =)
One of my new friends in Philly was in the hospital this week. (Christen Conner introduced me to him, despite the fact that she's in Michigan...kinda cool how the Internet works!) His name is Erik, which obviously means he's a strong, good-looking individual. It turns out that he developed a blood clot in his arm. Thankfully, the doctors fixed it temporarily; he has a follow-up surgery this fall to permanently rid himself of the little beast.
Sarah just finished her final exam for 2nd year medical school this morning. Her feelings were mixed (it was a tough one), but she's certainly glad to get 'er done. Starting Monday, she begins studying for the boards, which essentially are a review of the previous two years of medical school. The studying schedule is pretty ridiculous...the average schedule is about 12 hours of studying EVERY DAY. Fortunately, Sarah has an optimistic view on it--focusing on the fact that she will have a few hours each day when she can completely relax because there's no way she can learn everything for the 8-hour exam in mid-June.
I'm currently in the market for summer jobs here in Philly. I'd like to make a little bit of money, and do something that allows me to have the evenings off. We'll see what develops.
