First and foremost - Jordan and I have FINALLY finished LOST! Ugh! It took us a few months to get through 6 very confusing seasons. I think I said, "What? That doesn't make sense!" at lease once every episode. It was entertaining coming up with our own conclusions to the whole story. We especially liked how one entire season revolved around pushing a button. Oh, and how another season revolved entirely around whether they were all dead or not. It was great.
April 16 was tax day, and I was so extremely grateful that we got our taxes done in January! What an awesome feeling of non-procrastination. I've had to file an extension almost every year, but not this year. Woo-hoo! Here's hoping next year will go just as smoothly!
Jordan had an exam for his Foundations in Clinical Medicine (FCM) on April 16 and did awesome. He had to get a history and physical on two people and then write up a note on one of them. We had practiced together, and I think that helped.
We had FHE with Alan and Lyanna on April 16 as well, and talked about the First Presidency message for this month, ate some delicious ice cream (Waffle Cone and Salted Caramel Pretzel - um yum!), and played Sequence. Such a fun game!
I bought tickets on Groupon for super cheap admission to the Edgar Allan Poe Museum here in Richmond, which we went to see on April 17. It was fascinating. He lived a very interesting life, and although the museum was small, we really enjoyed it.
On April 19, Jordan went to court to fight his speeding ticket that he got the day after his birthday - boo! :( Amazingly, the judge somehow didn't see that Jordan had a previous ticket, and let him off easy. All Jordan has to do is go to traffic school, and we pay the court fees. Yay for nice judges!
This past weekend was my weekend off. We weren't able to do much because Jordan was studying for his Musculoskeletal Exam on Tuesday, plus it rained all weekend. But we did go play in a nearby park and then go out to Cheesecake Factory on Saturday!
And speaking of exams, Jordan did great on the MSK exam. Woo! He has another exam next Monday for FCM, and the Neurology exam the week after that! Sheesh! Then it's going to be what the M2's lovingly call "Crunch Month," which is where they study an entire month (heck, he's been studying all year) for the Step 1 Exam. The Step 1 is the most important test at this point, because his score will help determine which residencies he may get. So I'm trying to be a good wife - keep the house clean, do laundry, make dinner, and bring home the bacon. The month after Step 1 will be a good one, let me tell ya!
