I thought I would update you all on James' pursuit of med school. This summer he decided to challenge himself and took a grad level Genetics class through (eww!) K-State. After many hours of studying and preparation, he earned his "A"! He also decided to apply to several schools; not just ones in Kansas. So far, he has heard back from 2 of the schools and they have requested an interview with him.
The first interview is this next Thursday (Sept 1st) at Des Moines University, in, you guessed it, Des Moines, Iowa. James' "Doctor Friend" attended this school and it sounds like the school has some amazing hands-on, state of the art labs that really equip the students. Now the thought of moving to Iowa doesn't necessarily excite me. It would still be around a 3 hour drive to see my family, but it would be an additional 4 hours to see James' family.
The second interview is Tuesday, Sept. 27th. This school is located in a suburb of Chicago. When James first applied to this school, he thought it was a long-shot to get in because it is one of the top DO schools. He was pretty surprised when they wanted to interview him, but felt honored to be chosen. I'm not too familiar with the city so it is kind of scary to think that we may move there. It is the 3rd largest city in the US. (If it was NYC, though, I would have no problem...I love that city! So maybe I could learn to love this city as well.) He just booked his flight tonight so we shall see what happens.
A few people have commented about our exciting life...it does seem that our lives don't stay stagnant for very long. But, I guess that's the way we roll ;-)
Updates to follow...
