So I am going to start keeping a journal here in my gmail account I think. It is easier and more secure than a blog. I already made the mistake of doing that when NRS, the company I've been working for for about 5 months now, found some things I'd written about them and asked me to delete it. I was just stating how happy I was to have landed the job too. Oh well. I do like my job except that it is very slow in the mornings like now, until about 2pm when we start doing normal cases. I do learn a lot of medical jargon which I think is very useful too.
So I'm deep into the 2006-2007 application cycle for Dental School now. I have only actually interviewed at 1 school out of the ten that I have applied to. Luckily for me that one is UW, which is my obvious first choice. I think it went pretty well too. Jay and Stephanie and Carrie drilled my as a panel the day before the interview and I think that helped a lot. I am happy with my chances and feel like I'd be a good fit there at the school. I like the small class size and the focus on rural care. Hopefully I'll get in. I'm interviewing at Temple University in 2 weeks as well. I have heard good things about the school from Benny, Carries cousin, who I hopefully will be staying with. I still need to call him to make sure. I'd like to go there too I think, except that its on the east coast. Clinics are supposed to be great. I'm just hoping to get in somewhere. Arizona rejected me and 7 other schools are leaving me in the dark on my status. I don't like that. Its stressing me out. Oh well. Temple and UW are my top 2 probably so that's the most important anyhow. As long as I get into one of those I'll be happy.
So Carrie and I have been contemplating having a kid soon. Carrie gets soo stressed out with school that I don't know how she would handle pregnancy and school next semester, but if it happens then it will work out I'm sure. Kids would be nice, although taking care of a newborn during my first semester of school might be difficult, but fun - maybe. Carrie will have one semester left come January and she claims she hates everything about nursing and wants to drop out. Stress. She doesn't handle it well. She'll be fine though. I love her. Shes a great wife and we're perfect for each other.
We've moved to the Valley recently and are enjoying it. We have a much nicer apartment and are loving the dishwasher/washer-dryer lifestyle for the first time since being married. Our ward is good though we don't have friends there except Noriko and John (which is kinda strange for obvious reasons). Its good though and we like it. Carrie has a calling in the YW but doesn't like the people she works with. Oh well.
Well I'll see if I can figure out how to post some pictures up here and then be done with it.
