The Countdown Is On!

Graduation is 3 months from Monday...but who's counting?

So Garth (and subsequently all of us) had a big week last week with Garth finishing his last week of rotation and his LAST grand rounds EVER (as long as he passes). He did very well, getting an A in his primary care rotation at the VA, and his next one is research at the school, which shouldn't be too terrible. Then he has the MOTHER of all rotations at the very end: Adult Med. It is a blessing and a curse that he ends with this, it will help him in studying for his board exams, but it is a booger to end on.

It is so crazy to me that this 'drugged up' journey that we started some 6 years ago (not counting undergrad) is about to come to an end. To be honest, it really went slow when we were in the midst of it, but looking back I cannot believe that we are less than 100 days from graduation. It has been anything but a smooth ride getting here, but the bumps helped us in the end.

When I graduated, it was such a great feeling, but it didn't feel over since we still had a long row to hoe with regards to Garth getting out of school. I seriously am going to be the crazy person in the stands with an air horn at graduaiton.

Everyone keep Garth in your prayers that he will get through the next couple of months without any hitches and we will be having a graduation party to end all graduation parties sometime soon.
