What About Us?

With all this talk about Davie you might think that David and I don't have a life besides Davie, which is kinda true but just to clarify we do! And here is what's up. Remember that test I told you David had to study for the whole first week of Davie's life? Well David tore it up and came out with a 95%! He is on his way to honors in that entire class. It won't be easy but if he can pull it off then he might get into AOA (Alpha Omega Alpha) which could possibly lead to him getting choice placement for residency.

As for me the two to three weeks leading up to Davie's birthday were full of studying for CLEPP tests. The first one was History and Social Sciences then I tested out of Humanities. I took the history test a week or so after Christmas and the Himanities one the week after that. Both of which were the most broad tests I have ever taken in my life! At the end of each test I was freaking out to see what my score was.

The results? I got the equivalent (its really rough to say) of a 82% on the History test and a 90% in Humanities (which totally shocked me!). My score for the history test was 7 points over what I needed but I momentarily forgot and for two seconds I panicked thinking that I had missed the mark by 3 points. That was scary. I found a WAY better studying tool for the Humanities test and even though I felt less prepared I scored 15 points higher than what I needed. I was so happy because with that score I instantly knew I had passed. I can't even describe the relief and euphoria I experienced after leaving both of those tests! I earned 20 credits in about 3 weeks and I paid about 250 bucks! So worth it!!!

Also the night I had Davie, David called me when he got home to let me know that The Universisty of Toledo sent me a certificate in the mail from the dean for my 4.0 GPA. I can't lie that really made me feel cool.

David and I have now reached the end of our second parental visit and real life has started. I miss not having to cook, help with cleaning, laundry, the extra hands and people to talk to while David is at school all day (really the list goes on and on) BUT I know that both of us will get more studying done :)

Thus far I haven't done too bad with school. I let my teachers know ahead of time that I was expecting a baby this semester and they have worked with me quite well. I am completely up to date in my science class (this teacher was the least responsive so I figured it best to just not fall behind), almost up to date in my Baby boomers class but pretty far behind in my religious conflicts in society class. It's all a work in progress but I think I'll catch up before the month ends.

In other news I was released from my Young Women's calling. The YW president had been in since she very first moved to Toledo. Her hubby is now in his final year of medical school so they will be leaving this summer. Sometimes I'm sad I have been released and other times it overwhelms me (to the point of anxiety) just to think about taking care of Davie, my school work, the house, AND teaching lessons every couple of weeks on top of planning and attending activities. It was definitely a fun experience although I feel like I was totally scatter brained on one too many occasions of which I will blame on pregnancy. Im not one to blame every negative thing that happens to me during pregnancy on pregnancy mainly because I don't believe most of the symptoms but being an air head during pregnancy was (for me) an unfortunate reality. I'm usually pretty good at remembering stuff but I dropped the ball a couple of times and it was kinda embarrassing (ok really embarrassing).

Lastly David and I FINALLY went and got our eyes checked again. Turns out the reason why neither of us could see was because our prescriptions had changed. Mine was a year and a half old and we don't even know how old David's was. I'm a little sad because I went from a 2 and a 2.5 to 2.75 and 3, but bigger is better right? Right? It's amazing how horrible I've realized my vision in my glasses is now that I can compare it to my new contacts. No wonder I was always squinting and getting annoyed! And that just about wraps it up for David and I sometimes it seems busy around here and other times not so much but things are definitely going well.
