It's been a tough couple of months getting Phil's applications submitted, waiting for secondary applications, submitting secondary applications, waiting for interview invitations, doing practice interviews, buying plane tickets, booking hotel rooms, reserving rental cars, waiting for acceptance/rejection letters, etc. Phil and I have both required some serious pep talks on multiple occasions.
However, I can't see us doing anything any differently. We're working hard to make my husband's dreams come true and he's so passionate about medicine... It's just a perfect fit. Phil works incredibly hard in school, in his job and in his lab. It's nice to get interview invitations because it shows me that other people see just a glimpse of how wonderful he is.
Speaking of interviews, our December calendar is already very busy. Here's a peek at the next few weeks:
November 25th-30th: Family vacation/Thanksgiving
December 1st: Interview at Ohio State
December 5th: Interview at the University of Colorado
December 12th: Interview at the University of Minnesota
December 19th: Interview at the University of Nevada
December 22nd: Fly to Idaho for a Crepeau Christmas
All that will be compounded with Christmas preparation, final exams, etc. Basically, Phil amazes me daily with how much he's able to keep on his plate. I'm so proud of my hubby.
I've learned that the road to becoming a doctor feels like the equivalent of riding down an unpaved road on the back of an uncooperative donkey. It's frustrating, funny, bumpy, and a long journey. Here's hoping that the destination makes it all worthwhile.
