I'm Done!!

Yay, I finished all of my summer school today so I have a three week break before fall starts. It was a long 12 weeks of class almost everyday but you can't beat getting a year's worth of anatomy done in that amount of time. I was just about to celebrate when I got a call from Derek saying that he took the van in for an oil change and they wouldn't do it because there was oil in the radiator. Not good. So we took the van in and found out that we had a blown head gasket in the engine and it will be good as new for the mere price of $2,000. It's always something. I hope this trend doesn't continue. We have put so much money into that thing this year! Derek starts his 2nd year of medical school tomorrow so here we go again!

Congrats! My sister is taking similar classes and she's SWAMPED so I can only imagine the relief of a break!

Great to hear your done with anatomy! Bummer about your car! We found a good place to take our cars to-- our friend's bishop is the owner. It's called Newby's Auto repair over on American Pacific (west of Touro). They gave us the best price on our previous repairs.

Congrats on finishing! I have done summer school before and it is LONG and tough, but so worth it! Sorry about your van, are you going to get rid of it?

Christine,
So happy to see your blog. I have to say that you are an amazing woman. We saw Dereck at Nate's dad's pool party and he said you were studying for your exams. I think it's awesome the way you guys support each other. Keep up the great work.
