Waiting

I'm playing hooky today because we only had two hours of lecture this afternoon, and my alternate option was staying home all day with D, who's off work.  I'll catch up with the lecture recordings later.  These last three weeks of actual class/lecture prior to our final set of exams are going to be fabulous--this week we are essentially done already, because I'm skipping class today, tomorrow we have a small group but no new material lecture, and all we have Friday is a Sim Lab (get to play with the dummies some more--no new material here either).  Next week is a short week with no school on Friday and a quiz on Thursday, so no new material there either.  The week after that we have PBL (problem based learning) modules, which means we sit around and pretend to be doctors for a while but don't have to actually attend lecture.  Then study week.  I'll take that, thanks very much.  

Today we are waiting on pins and needles to hear back from D's employer--he interviewed for a promotion within his company yesterday and we are hoping to hear back today.  This is the third such promotion he's interviewed for since February, and the past two times he has been told outright that he had the best interview, the best qualifications, but was not given the job.  Needless to say, things have been exceedingly frustrating.  He's taken it all extremely well, given the circumstances, and has kept improving his performance, so we're hoping for good results on this one--but things have been extremely political in the past, so it's hard to say what will happen.  Cross your fingers for us...
